Overview

Azure Blob Storage Destination Plugin

This destination plugin lets you sync data from a CloudQuery source to remote Azure Blob Storage storage in various formats such as CSV, JSON and Parquet.

Authentication

The plugin needs to be authenticated with your Azure account in order to fetch information about your cloud setup.
You can either authenticate with az login (when running locally), or by using a "service principal" and exporting environment variables (appropriate for automated deployments).
You can find out more about authentication with Azure at Azure's documentation for the Go SDK.

Example

This example configures an Azure blob storage destination, to create CSV files in https://cqdestinationazblob.blob.core.windows.net/test/path/to/files.
The (top level) spec section is described in the Destination Spec Reference.
kind: destination
spec:
  name: "azblob"
  path: "cloudquery/azblob"
  registry: "cloudquery"
  version: "v4.0.1"
  spec:
    storage_account: "cqdestinationazblob"
    container: "test"
    path: "path/to/files"

    format: "csv" # options: parquet, json, csv
    format_spec:
      # CSV-specific parameters:
      # delimiter: ","
      # skip_header: false

    # Optional parameters
    # compression: "" # options: gzip
    # no_rotate: false
    # batch_size: 10000
    # batch_size_bytes: 52428800 # 50 MiB
    # batch_timeout: 30s
The Azure Blob destination utilizes batching, and supports batch_size, batch_size_bytes and batch_timeout options (see below).
