Azure Blob Storage connections

This guide explains how to retrieve and configure Azure Blob Storage access keys for use with the CloudQuant Data Liberator platform.

Prerequisites

You will need:

Keep your access keys secure. Never commit them to source control or share them in plain text.

Provide the following to CloudQuant for CloudQuant Data Liberator connectivity:

Storage Account: your_storage_account_name
Access Key: your_access_key
Container: your_container_name

If configuring programmatically, the connection string format is:

DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=your_account;AccountKey=your_key;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net

Azure provides two keys to enable rotation without downtime:

Rotate your access keys regularly as a security best practice.

Issue	Solution
Authentication failed	Verify the access key hasn’t been rotated
Container not found	Check the container name and ensure it exists
Network error	Verify firewall rules allow access from CloudQuant Data Liberator
