Bootstrap on Microsoft Azure

Bootstrapper can build File Shares on Azure using custom bootstrap.xml and init-cfg templates. In order to create files and folders, Bootstrapper needs your Storage Account Name and Storage Access Key. This information is never stored on disk.

Finding your Access Key

To find your access key for Azure:

Use your Azure account email address and password to sign in to the Azure Portal.

Choose a valid storage account from the Dashboard in the resources section

In the settings section, chose the Access Keys option.

Take note of the Storage Account Name

Copy either key1 or key2.

Warning

An access key grants full programmatic access to your resources, meaning that it should be guarded as carefully as the root sign-in credentials for your account.
