Azure board (legacy API)

Description

To use Microsoft Azure Storage as a board, you'll need an Azure Storage account, an Azure Storage container, and an Azure Storage key.

Usage

legacy_azure(
  container = Sys.getenv("AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER"),
  account = Sys.getenv("AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT"),
  key = Sys.getenv("AZURE_STORAGE_KEY"),
  cache = NULL,
  name = "azure",
  ...
)

board_register_azure(
  name = "azure",
  container = Sys.getenv("AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER"),
  account = Sys.getenv("AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT"),
  key = Sys.getenv("AZURE_STORAGE_KEY"),
  cache = NULL,
  path = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

container	The name of the Azure Storage container.
account	The name of the Azure Storage account.
key	The access key for the Azure Storage container. You can find this under "Access keys" in your storage account settings. The key is equivalent to a password, so generally should not be stored in your script. The easiest alternative is to store it in the AZURE_STORAGE_KEY environment variable, which legacy_azure() will use by default.
cache	Cache path. Every board requires a local cache to avoid downloading files multiple times. The default stores in a standard cache location for your operating system, but you can override if needed.
name	An optional name used identify the board. This is no longer generally needed since you should be passing around an explicit board object.
...	Additional parameters required to initialize a particular board.
path	Subdirectory within url
