View your Azure Blob storage accounts

05/31/2023 Contributors

After you install a Connector in Azure, BlueXP can automatically discover information about the Azure storage accounts that reside in the Azure Subscriptions where the Connector is installed. An Azure Blob working environment is added to the Canvas so you can view this information.

You can see details about your Azure storage accounts, including the location, resource group, used capacity, and more. These accounts can be used as destinations for BlueXP backup and recovery, BlueXP tiering, or BlueXP copy and sync operations.

Steps

Install a Connector in the Azure account where you want to view your Azure Blob storage accounts.
From the navigation menu, select Storage > Canvas.

You should automatically see an Azure Blob Storage working environment shortly after.
Select the working environment and select an action from the right pane if you want to enable BlueXP services with your Azure Blob storage.

See which BlueXP services are available and learn how to use them with your Azure Blob Storage accounts.
Select Enter Working Environment, or double-click the working environment, to view details about the Azure storage accounts.

In addition to the columns that appear by default, you can scroll the page to view additional properties for the storage account; for example, the number of tags, and the type of encryption that has been enabled.
