Introduction
The Azure Storage Management SDK for Python provides a powerful and easy-to-use interface for managing your Azure Storage resources directly from your Python applications. It simplifies common tasks such as creating containers, uploading blobs, managing access keys, and much more.
Key Features
- Simplified API: Provides a high-level API for common storage operations.
- Authentication: Supports various authentication methods including Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Shared Access Signatures (SAS).
- Error Handling: Robust error handling and informative error messages.
- Asynchronous Operations: Supports asynchronous operations for improved performance and scalability.
- Documentation: Comprehensive documentation with detailed examples.
Getting Started
To get started, you'll need:
- Python 3.6 or later
- The Azure Storage Management SDK for Python
You can install the SDK using pip:
pip install azure-storage-blob
Example Code
import os
from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
# Replace with your storage account connection string
connection_string = os.environ["AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING"]
# Create a BlobServiceClient
blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(connection_string)
# Get a reference to a container
container_name = "mycontainer"
container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client(container_name)
# Create a blob
blob_name = "myblob.txt"
blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client(blob_name)
blob_client.upload_blob("This is my blob content.")
print(f"Blob '{blob_name}' uploaded to container '{container_name}'.")
