Introduction
Uploading local files to Azure Blob Storage might seem straightforward, but it can be challenging for those new to Azure. Given the complexity of building this project, I’ll break down the steps into smaller, more manageable articles. This series assumes you have a basic understanding of Azure, including how to create resource groups and services. The goal of this project is to solve the physical file storage issues faced by your company. Imagine having 5 to 10 file cabinets filled with archived information in a single room—reclaiming that space would be highly beneficial. That’s exactly what this project aims to achieve.
Purpose of the Project
Your company will use Azure Storage Explorer to navigate the blob files. Since all files are renamed with GUIDs, the data is anonymized, making it difficult to find specific users directly. This is where blob index tags become crucial. Using the filter feature, users can narrow down search results. The Azure Function splits the filename (LastName_FirstName) into separate tags for FirstName and LastName, allowing users to filter by these tags.?
