====== Getting your data into Azure Blob Storage ======


==== Frequently asked questions ====

=== How do I set up the transfer to Azure Blob Storage? ===
  - You go to https://onboard.windsor.ai/
  - On the destination page, you select Azure Blob Storage
  - You fill in the fields
  - As a connector URL you can use any URL providing a JSON or CSV. Either from the connectors or for example a URL with cached and transformed data from //charts.windsor.ai//

=== How do I set up my Azure Blob Storage account? ===
First of all, you have to have a proper Azure subscription. If you do, go to Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com/) and create a resource group. It can be named anything you want.

Within this resource group, we will create an Azure Synapse Analitycs resource. (We assume that your data will be used with Azure Synapse, so we will create an Azure Synapse resource, which will automatically give us an Azure Blob Storage account.)

On the "resource group" page select a newly created storage account and create a new container for the destination data you want to store there.

=== How do I fill in the fields? ===
On the Storage Account page, go to Access keys and copy the connection string
{{:wiki15.png?direct|}}

{{:wiki16.png?direct|}}


On the https://onboard.windsor.ai/ select Azure Blob Storage as a destination and paste this connection string to the corresponding field.

You can use a container name of the one that has been created before. If you want to use a new container, you may just input its name on the onboard page and it will be created automatically.

Blob name is a prefix that all your files (blobs) will have in this container. You may choose whatever you want,  but fits best the one that reflects the data being stored.
