Enabling Packages with Azure Blob Storage

Warning

  • It is critical that you set the restrictive access policies you need for your storage bucket, because does not apply specific object permissions or additional access control lists (ACLs) to your storage bucket configuration. For example, if you make your bucket public, data in the bucket will be accessible on the public internet. If restrictions by IP address have been set up, please include IP addresses for your Enterprise Server instance and the end users who will be using the your Enterprise Server instance.
  • We recommend using a dedicated bucket for Packages, separate from the bucket you use for Actions storage.
  • Make sure to configure the bucket you'll want to use in the future. We do not recommend changing your storage after you start using Packages.

Before you can enable and configure Packages on your Enterprise Server instance, you need to prepare your Azure Blob storage bucket. To prepare your Azure Blob storage bucket, we recommend consulting the official Azure Blob storage docs at the official Azure Blob Storage documentation site.

  4. In the left sidebar, click Packages.

  5. Under " Packages", select the Enable Packages checkbox.

    Usage of a SAS Token or SAS URL as connection string is not currently supported.

  7. Under the "Settings" sidebar, click Save settings.

    Note

    Saving settings in the Management Console restarts system services, which could result in user-visible downtime.
