Microsoft Azure Blob Storage (ABS) Source

In order to setup Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as a data source, you need admin access to create storage containers and users.

Set up Blob storage container (or use an existing one) to store the data you want to share with Monda.
Create a service user that Monda will use to access the container.
Ensure that the user has read and list access to the specific Azure Blob storage container.
Generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token with read permissions and store it securely. This token will be used by Monda to authenticate and access your data.

In your Provider Portal, go to Onboard > Sources > Add Connection.
Select Azure Blob Storage from the dropdown menu.
- Admins must provide the following information:
  - Container Name: the name of your Azure Blob container
  - Account Name: your Azure storage account name
  - Credential: account level Shared Access Signature (SAS) token, should start with ?sv=
  - Region: the Azure region where your storage account is located (select from dropdown)
Click Create. After the connection is established, you can test it via the Test Connection button.

The user (or SAS token) must have read-only access to the target container. No write or delete permissions are needed.

Yes, and ensure that:

Monda requires a SAS token for Azure Blob Storage connections. Service principals are not supported.

Yes, as long as the token has access to all relevant containers. Each container still requires a separate connection in Monda.

You may refer to the Data Sources Overview guide to learn more about preparing and formatting your data.

Yes! See our API documentation for creating and managing your connections programmatically.
