# Azure Blob Storage SDK for Rust
Client library for Azure Blob Storage — Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud.
## Installation
```sh
cargo add azure_storage_blob azure_identity
```
## Environment Variables
```bash
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=<storage-account-name>
# Endpoint: https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/
```
## Authentication
```rust
use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;
use azure_storage_blob::{BlobClient, BlobClientOptions};
let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;
let blob_client = BlobClient::new(
"https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/",
"container-name",
"blob-name",
Some(credential),
Some(BlobClientOptions::default()),
)?;
```
## Client Types
| Client | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `BlobServiceClient` | Account-level operations, list containers |
| `BlobContainerClient` | Container operations, list blobs |
| `BlobClient` | Individual blob operations |
## Core Operations
### Upload Blob
```rust
use azure_core::http::RequestContent;
let data = b"hello world";
blob_client
.upload(
RequestContent::from(data.to_vec()),
false, // overwrite
u64::try_from(data.len())?,
None,
)
.await?;
```
### Download Blob
```rust
let response = blob_client.download(None).await?;
let content = response.into_body().collect_bytes().await?;
println!("Content: {:?}", content);
```
### Get Blob Properties
```rust
let properties = blob_client.get_properties(None).await?;
println!("Content-Length: {:?}", properties.content_length);
```
### Delete Blob
```rust
blob_client.delete(None).await?;
```
## Container Operations
```rust
use azure_storage_blob::BlobContainerClient;
let container_client = BlobContainerClient::new(
"https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/",
"container-name",
Some(credential),
None,
)?;
// Create container
container_client.create(None).await?;
// List blobs
let mut pager = container_client.list_blobs(None)?;
while let Some(blob) = pager.try_next().await? {
println!("Blob: {}", blob.name);
}
```
## Best Practices
1. **Use Entra ID auth** — `DeveloperToolsCredential` for dev, `ManagedIdentityCredential` for production
2. **Specify content length** — required for uploads
3. **Use `RequestContent::from()`** — to wrap upload data
4. **Handle async operations** — use `tokio` runtime
5. **Check RBAC permissions** — ensure "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role
## RBAC Permissions
For Entra ID auth, assign one of these roles:
- `Storage Blob Data Reader` — read-only
- `Storage Blob Data Contributor` — read/write
- `Storage Blob Data Owner` — full access including RBAC
