Hello, 

We would like to set up Azure Blob Storage to host attachments as well as GED documents.

IFS Cloud version : 24.1.4

We are using IFS Cloud in remote mode, but there is very little documentation. Our goal is to avoid overloading our Oracle database with documents. From what I understand, FTP and FTPS are being deprecated, so we are opting for a solution based on Azure Blob Storage.

 

I found this documentation: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/120_file_storage_for_remote/122_installation_guide/.

 

Do you know if this solution works with a shared Azure Blob Storage? These are variables to add to the YAML file, I assume, since these functions don't exist by default in the file?

 

Thank you in advance for your help

 

Best regards

​@Thebis I believe the Azure SMB File Share should work.

File storage is either Database BLOB or Azure File Storage. Documents are not stored as BLOB in the file storage. The files will be stored on an external SMB storage that is located outside of the Kubernetes cluster. File storage service does not support for Azure storage in the remote solution.

Hi ​@Thebis I haven't tried using IFS Storage with Azure Blob yet. However, the Windows file share works fine based on the instructions mentioned in the https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/120_file_storage_for_remote/122_installation_guide/.

Does it not work either with an Azure SMB share mounted in a container?

I confirm that it works on Azure. I am experiencing a permission issue, but it should be easily fixed, even though the repository is operational. I find it unfortunate that the documentation is so limited, probably to encourage the use of the SaaS version, which is a shame. I had to figure things out on my own for quite some time to identify what was wrong.

Thank you, AsenR.
