Integrate Azure Blob Storage with Service Connector

This page shows the supported authentication types and client types of Azure Blob Storage using Service Connector. You might still be able to connect to Azure Blob Storage in other programming languages without using Service Connector. This page also shows default environment variable names and values (or Spring Boot configuration) you get when you create the service connection. You can learn more about Service Connector environment variable naming convention.

Supported compute service

• Azure App Service
