Change Azure Blob storage account settings

Contributors netapp-tonacki

Once your Azure Blob Storage working environment is available in the Canvas, you can change some storage account properties directly from BlueXP.

Note that you can't change the storage account name, Azure region, or the performance type of the storage.

The storage account properties you can change includes:

  • The Subscription and Resource Group for the storage account.

  • Add, change, or remove tags for the objects that are added to the storage account.

  • Whether or not new objects added to the storage account are encrypted, and the option used for encryption.

You can change these storage account settings directly from BlueXP by clicking the three dots more button for a storage account.

Add or change tags for objects in the storage account

Data encryption type Description

By default, Microsoft-managed encryption keys are used to used to encrypt your data.

Customer-managed keys

You can use your own customer-managed keys for data encryption instead of using the default Microsoft-managed encryption keys. If you're planning to use your own customer-managed keys, you'll need to have created them already so you can select the Key Vault and the Keys in this page.

The keys can be in the same Subscription as the storage account, or you can select a different Subscription.
