Microsoft Azure configuration
Microsoft configuration requires the following details, which are set in the Azure portal:
- Storage account name: The unique name of the storage account you’ve created in Azure.
- Container name: The name of the container in your storage account.
- SAS token: The query string that includes all of the information required to authenticate the SAS, as well as to specify the blob and permissions available for access, and the time interval over which the signature is valid. For instructions on how to generate a SAS token, see the Azure documentation. Note that this SAS token must be re-entered any time you make changes to your environment.
- Configuration file path: The path within the blob storage that your configuration file will be uploaded to. Do not include any leading forward slashes (/) or the file name in this path. Ensure that this path exists in the blob storage prior to deploying.
We recommend generating two SAS tokens: one for writing configuration, and one for reading configuration. The first SAS token should be entered when creating the environment. When generating this SAS token, the following settings are necessary for Maverics to work:
- Signing method: select Account key
- Signing key: select Key 1
- Permissions: select Create, Add, and Write
- Start and expiry date/time: Move the expiration date out to a longer time frame at your discretion. The default is eight hours.
The second SAS token is used by the orchestrator to read remote configuration. When generating this SAS token, the following settings are necessary for the orchestrator to work:
- Signing method: select Account key
- Signing key: select Key 1
- Permissions: select List and Read
- Start and expiry date/time: Move the expiration date out to a longer time frame at your discretion. The default is eight hours.
