Azure Storage

Azure Storage Account

A Storage account is required to store
  • iControlJar
  • MongoDB backup
  • Vault backup
  • Axisjar
  • javax.xml.soap-api
Always create a storage account with a valid name to indicate the storage account for a specific AKS cluster. A typical naming convention could be <clusternamestorage>.
Note: Storage account access by the AKS pods is granted by the storage account connection string.

For more information on the Azure storage account, refer to Microsoft's online manual - Create a storage account.

Azure Storage Container

The following containers must be created in the storage accounts that have already been setup.
  1. icontroljar: The iControlJar needs to be placed here before installing AppViewX plugins
  2. mongo-backup: Backup job stores mongodb backup into the container.
  3. vault-backup: Backup job stores vault backup into the container
  4. axisjar: Axisjar, javax.xml.soap-api jar files must be stored in container axisjar.

For more information on the Azure storage containers, refer to Microsoft's online manual - Quickstart: Upload, download, and list blobs with the Azure portal.
