Writes Parquet files to Azure Blob Storage.

Configuration

warehouse:
  kind: azure_blob
  account_name: mystorageaccount
  account_key: ${AZURE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY}
  container: my-container
  prefix: "data/"

Field	Default	Description
account_name	(required)	Azure storage account name
account_key		Access key (one of key/sas required)
sas_token		SAS token
container	(required)	Blob container name
prefix		Key prefix for uploaded objects

Authentication

Authenticate with either an account key or a SAS token. For security best practices, we strongly advise against storing the account key or SAS token in skippr.yaml. Use environment variable interpolation instead: replace the account_key or sas_token value with your own ${ENV_VAR} reference.

The relevant part of skippr.yaml looks like this:

warehouse:
  kind: azure_blob
  account_key: ${AZURE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY}
  # or:
  # sas_token: ${AZURE_BLOB_SAS_TOKEN}

Set the env var before running skippr:

macOS / Linux

export AZURE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY="base64key..."

Windows PowerShell

$env:AZURE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY = "base64key..."

Windows Command Prompt

set AZURE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY=base64key...

Permissions or Network Requirements

The storage principal needs write access to the selected container and prefix, and the runner must be able to reach Azure Blob Storage over the network.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
authentication failed	Verify the storage account name, account key or SAS token, and container name.
writes fail	Check container permissions, prefix values, and any firewall restrictions on the storage account.
