Question

Hi Friends,

Is  there anyway/possible to move our application local folder files into blob storage once we deployed into windows azure?

Waiting for your valuable words.

Answer 1

Hi,

Do you want to store the application on Blob Storage, and deploy it on Windows Azure Platform via Azure Storage? Yes, you can upload the application's package file and configuration file on Azure Blob Storage, then deploy them on Cloud (not upload the application local folder files).

You may need "CSPack" commond to generate package files and PowserShell script to deploy Azure application:

Hope this helps.

Hi Arwind thanks for your reply.

Here my question is? ..just consider situation.

I have an application that includes a folder with lot of images named Images. Then i deployed it to windows azure cloud service as an azure cloud project. After my deployment i want to move the folder to blob storage. Is it possible or not?

Answer 3

Hi,

Ok, I understand you question, here you need write a module to upload these images to Blob storage and then modify the image urls to Blob Storage service url (You can also create a table storage to manage blob urls for query). 

BR,

Ariwnd

Answer 5

Storage explorers such as Cloud Storage Studio or Azure Storage Explorer can upload files to blob storage for you if you don't want to write code to do it. If you need to do this on an ongoing basis, you may find BlobDrop useful, which will sync files from a file folder up into blob storage for you.
