How To Connect Azure To YACSS

In YACSS, navigate to Cloud Connectivity from the sidebar. Click Connect on the Microsoft Azure card to begin the setup process.

You will need two things: a Name (any label you choose) and a Connection String. We will retrieve the Connection String from the Azure dashboard in the next steps.

• Name — Any name you want to identify this connection
• Connection String — Retrieved from Azure Storage Account Access Keys

Go to the Azure Portal and sign in. Click on the top left sidebar icon to open the navigation menu.

In the sidebar, click Storage Accounts, then click Create. If prompted, click Start and add your card info to activate your Azure subscription.

Click Start and then add your card info and process it.

After your paid account is successfully created, you will see this screen for blob storage. Click Create Storage Account.

Add the same options as marked in red below — the rest you can change accordingly.

Once the storage account is successfully created, click on it from the list to open it.

Go to Settings > Configuration. You must enable the option "Allow Blob Anonymous Access" and click Save before continuing.

In the left sidebar, navigate to Security + Networking > Access Keys. Click Show next to the Connection String under Key 1, then copy the value.

Return to YACSS. Paste the Connection String into the Connection String field and click Save — your Azure connection is now active.
