Connect to Azure blob storage
To use Azure blob storage as a data source or destination for your synthetic data, you need to create an Azure connector in MOSTLY AI.
If you want to keep your generated synthetic data in a separate Azure blob container, you need to create a second connector that points to that container.
Steps
- From the Connectors tab, click Create connector.
The Create connector drawer appears on the right.
- On the Connect to cloud storage tab, select Azure storage.
- On the Create Azure connector page, configure the connector.
-
For Connector name, enter a name that you can distinguish from other connectors.
💡A combination of
Azure
_CONTAINER_
might help you identify this connector among other Google Cloud storage connectors. -
For Connection type, select whether you want to use the connector as a source or destination.
You can select only data source connectors when you create a new catalog.
Similarly, you can select only data destination connectors when you configure a destination for the new synthetic dataset.
-
For Account name, enter your Azure account name.
-
For Account key, enter your Azure account key.
-
For Container, enter the name of the Azure blob storage container.
-
- Click Test connection to make sure the configuration is correct. If you see a successful connection message, then MOSTLY AI connected to Azure blob storage successfully and found the provided container.
- Click Save to save your new Azure blob storage connector.
What's next
You can now use the Azure blob storage connector as a data source when you create a new catalog.
You can also use the Azure blob storage connector as a destination.
You can use different types of data sources and destinations for a synthetic dataset. For example, if your data source is a Azure blob storage database, you can deliver the generated synthetic to any of the supported databases or cloud storage providers.
