Azure Portal

In order to use Immutability with Azure Blob Storage, you must setup Storage Account creation.

On the “Data protection” tab of storage account creation:

  • Disable “soft delete for blobs”
  • Enable “Versioning for blobs” 
    • Select “Keep all versions”
  •  Disable “Version-level immutability support”

Set “Blob public access” to Disabled and create a container. Give the container a name and set the “Public Access Level” to “Private”.

Container-Level Setting

After creating the Storage Account with the required settings, create a new container with the following setting:

  • Expand the Advanced section, and Enable “Version-level immutability support”

Notes:

Do not configure lifecycle management policies for the container`s data.

Do not enable any default immutability policy at the storage account level.

After the Container is created, go to Security → Networking, Access Keys and copy the key1 key.

Hi @AdamLipiec -

As someone who doesn’t use Azure, this is good to know...and easy to set up. Thanks for sharing!


I have somewhat played with Azure lately, but this is good knowledge to know.  Thanks for sharing this @AdamLipiec
