Episode 29 - Azure Files

by Cale Teeter May 21, 2014

 

What is this all about?

 

SMB 2.1 protocol

 

VM/Web/Worker on Azure can share files using standard file api (ReadFile/WriteFile)

 

REST interface as well

 

Moving existing apps to the cloud (without more integration work)

 

App Settings

 

Logs

 

Install share (dev builds)

 

 

How do I use this thing 

  • PowerShell cmdlets
  • REST Apis

 

RDP Drives works!

 

 

Limitations: 

  • Must be in the same region as the storage account hosting (REST everywhere!)
  • Currently can't copy directly from blob to files or between File Shares
  • Reading GEO copy of Files
  • Using SAS (must use accountname/accountkey)
  • No emulator support currently
