Repository files navigation

This is anexample GitHub action built in TypeScript that uploads file(s) toAzure Blob Storage, a "massively scalable and secure object storage for cloud-native workloads, archives, data lakes, high-performance computing, and machine learning".

Note: this action is meant solely for demonstration purposes. Best viewed together with the accompanyingblog post.

For more about GitHub Actions, refer tothe documentation.

• Use an existing Azure account orsign up for a free account
• Make sure you have access to a new or existing resource group, storage account, and container – for example, by following the first few steps ofthis quickstart
• Then,configure credentials that can write Azure Storage containers and blobs, like a service principal with the"Storage Blob Data Contributor" role.

az ad sp create-for-rbac   --name $SP_NAME  --sdk-auth  --role "Storage Blob Data Contributor"  --scopes /subscriptions/$SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/$RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME

• Finally, store these credentials as a secret namedAZURE_CREDENTIALS

Simple example:

# GitHub Actions repository workflow file, e.g .github/workflows/upload.yml# ...# previous steps to choose a runner type, prepare files, etc# ...-uses:azure/login@v1with:creds:${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}# Upload `.png`s to Azure Blob Storage-name:Upload all PNGs to Azure Blob Storageid:uploaduses:github-developer/upload-azure-blob@v1with:account:octodexdestination:octocatssource:'**/*.png'# Print out the urls to uploaded files-name:Print URLsrun:echo $URLS# { ["filename":"hulatocat.png","url":"https://octodex.blob.core.windows.net/octocats/hulatocat.png"] }env:URLS:${{ steps.upload.outputs.urls }}# ...

• account (required): Storage account name, e.g.mystorageaccount
