Azure Storage Integrator securely stores and shares credentials with consumer charms in a centralised way, eliminating the need to update credentials manually for each charm. It is useful for anyone managing multiple charms that rely on shared object storage in Azure.

This workloadless charm can be deployed in both machine and K8s Juju environments.

Deployment

This charm is still in development. Deploy the azure-storage-integrator charm using the latest revision from the “edge” risk channel:

juju deploy azure-storage-integrator --channel latest/edge

For feature requests or bug reports, please submit issues on GitHub.

Configuration

Use your Azure storage account to configure the connection parameters:

juju config azure-storage-integrator storage-account=<Azure_storage_account> container=<Azure_storage_container>

Azure Storage Integrator charm supports Azure Blob Storage (using the WASB and WASBS protocols) as well as Azure Data Lake Storage v2 (ABFS and ABFSS protocols). By default, it uses the ABFSS protocol compatible with the Azure DataLake Gen2 storage which requires the “Hierarchical namespace” feature to be active.

See more: charm’s configuration parameters, Juju config command reference.

Add your Azure storage key to Juju as a secret and make a note of the secret-id from the command’s output:

juju add-secret mysecret secret-key=<Azure_storage_key>

Now grant permission for the Azure Storage Integrator charm and configure it to use the secret:

juju grant-secret mysecret azure-storage-integrator
juju config azure-storage-integrator credentials=<secret-id>

Integration

Integrate the Azure Storage Integrator charm with a compatible charm:

juju integrate azure-storage-integrator <consumer-charm>

After the integration is complete the Azure Storage Integrator charm is ready to share storage credentials with the consumer charm via Juju integration.

Troubleshooting

To retrieve connection parameters, run:

juju run azure-storage-integrator/leader get-azure-connection-info

Further information

Any configuration change in the Azure Storage Integrator charm triggers the event handlers to update the relevant consumer charms accordingly.
