Can someone tell me if it is possible to read a csv file directly from Azure blob storage as a stream and process it using Python? I know it can be done using C#.Net (shown below) but wanted to know the equivalent library in Python to do this. CloudBlobClient client = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); CloudBlobContainer container = client.GetContainerReference("outfiles"); CloudBlob blob = container.GetBlobReference("Test.csv");* Yes, it is certainly possible to do so. Check out Azure Storage SDK for Python from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService block_blob_service =

I would like to copy a very large storage container from one Azure storage account into another (which also happens to be in another subscription). I would like an opinion on the following options: Write a tool that would connect to both storage accounts and copy blobs one at a time using CloudBlob's DownloadToStream() and UploadFromStream(). This seems to be the worst option because it will incur costs when transferring the data and also be quite slow because data will have to come down to the machine running the tool and then get re-uploaded back to Azure. Write a worker role to do the same

I just want to clean (dump, zap, del . ) an Azure Blob container. How can I do that? Note: The container is used by IIS (running Webrole) logs (wad-iis-logfiles). A one liner using the Azure CLI 2.0: az storage blob delete-batch --account-name <storage_account_name> --source <container_name> Substitute <storage_account_name> and <container_name> by the appropriate values in your case. You can see the help of the command by running: az storage blob delete-batch -h There is only one way to bulk delete blobs and that is by deleting the entire container. As you've said there is a delay between

I had to setup secure FTP to Azure Blob Storage using popular FTP clients (like FileZilla, for example). After doing lot of research, I came across a link that says: Deployed in a worker role, the code creates an FTP server that can accept connections from all popular FTP clients (like FileZilla, for example) for command and control of your blob storage account. Following the instructions of the link, I had implemented the same and deployed the worker role on Azure production environment and it was successful. But still I am not able to connect the FTP host server (provided by me in

I am trying to serve MP4 Video content from Azure Blob Storage. I can get the video to play in modern browsers by ensuring that the Blob's Content Type is set to video/mp4 ; however I am unable to seek backwards. Dropping the same video into an S3 bucket yields the desired result so I am ruling out problems with the content. Do I need to configure the Storage role in a specific way to serve video content? it was not clear for me from @smarx's answer how to set that for my blob container - but after some googling i found the code below. Just execute it in LINQPad, and video will start streaming

Internally ASP.NET has a 2 GB addressing space, but in reality you only have less than 1 GB free for uploads (see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=295626 ). In addition IIS 7 has a cap of 30 MB ( see http://www.iislogs.com/steveschofield/iis7-post-40-adjusting-file-upload-size-in-iis7 ) and you supposedly have to run appcmd set config "My Site/MyApp" -section:requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:104857600 -commitpath:apphost on the server to go beyond this 30 MB limit. But how can I run this on my Azure servers? Also, according to http://support.microsoft.com/?id=295626
