Azure

Interpretation of az:// URLs

The az:// URL scheme is used to access Azure Blob Storage. The interpretation of the URL authority (the part between az:// and the first /) can be configured with the --az-url-authority-is-account flag.

Two interpretations are supported:

  • az://$account/$container/$path - the authority is the storage account name
  • az://$container/$path - the authority is the container name (default adlfs behavior)

The first form requires the --az-url-authority-is-account flag. The second form is consistent with s3:// and gs:// URLs, but requires the AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT environment variable to be set.
