About this Image

Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge provides block and append blob storage solution at the edge. A blob storage module on your IoT Edge device behaves like an Azure blob service, but the block blobs or append blobs are stored locally on your IoT Edge device. You can access your blobs using the same Azure storage SDK methods or blob API calls that you're already used to. For more information checkout Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge

How to Use this Image

See the Deploy Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge documentation.

Configuration

Release Notes

Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge 1.4.4

Release Date: 15-Jun-2023
  • Dotnet security updates for May 2023

Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge 1.4.3

Release Date: 27-Jan-2023
  • Resolved Security issues
  • Upgraded managed projects to .Net6
  • Extended GA support for LinuxArm64
    • This image is available for LinuxArm64
    • Preview feature "Azure Event Grid on IoT Edge integration" is not removed from this image but is not available due to the lack of Arm64 support for the Azure Event Grid on IoT Edge image
  • This version includes following bugfixes:
    • Fixed locking mechanism in backend BlobInterface to eliminate race condition between concurrent PutBlockList, PutBlob and GetBlob operations

Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge 1.4.2

Release Date: 01-Dec-2021
  • Security patches only
  • This version is currently not available for LinuxArm64

Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge 1.4.1

Release Date: 02-Feb-2021
  • This version is currently not available for LinuxArm64
  • This version includes following bugfixes:
    • Return blob creation time to avoid erroring out on newest .NET SDK (Azure.Storage.Blobs 12.8.0)
    • Respect "create only" precondition for PutBlob
    • Try to repair DB if opening Db returns an error.
      • Sudden power loss may cause database corruption. The module will try to repair the database on startup if it encounters an error opening the database. There will be some data loss, but the module will start up and continue to process new requests. Metadata files that couldn't be recovered are placed in the Database\lost directory inside the module volume. If the module experiences frequent power loss it may be necessary to clean the lost directory to free up the storage space. If the repair process is not successful, the module won't startup. Please create a new volume for the storage module or delete all files from the current volume to allow the module to start.

  • Includes bug fixes and performance improvements
  • Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2 is not supported. Make sure a new volume binding is used when the new image is deployed

Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge 1.1 -Preview version

  • Consistent with 2017-04-17 version of the Azure Storage API.
    • Now supports: Get container ACL, Set container ACL, Set container metadata
  • Tiering: Configurable ability to tier the data from local blob store to Azure and provide and provides support for intermittent internet connectivity
    • Block level tiering is supported
    • The name of this setting is tieringSettings
FieldPossible ValuesExplanation
tieringOntrue, falseBy default it is set to false, if you want to turn it On set it to true
backlogPolicyNewestFirst, OldestFirstAllows you to choose the order in which the data is copied to Azure. By default it is set to OldestFirst. The order is determined by last modified time of Blob
remoteStorageConnectionString"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=<your Azure Storage Account Name>;AccountKey=<your Azure Storage Account Key>;EndpointSuffix=<your end point suffix>" is a connection string that allows you to specify the Azure Storage account to which you want your data uploaded. Specify Azure Storage Account Name, Azure Storage Account Key, End point suffix. Add appropriate EndpointSuffix of Azure where data will be uploaded, it varies for Global Azure, Government Azure, and Microsoft Azure Stack.
tieredContainers"<source container name1>": {"target": "<target container name>"},

"<source container name1>": {"target": "%h-%d-%m-%c"},

"<source container name1>": {"target": "%d-%c"}
Allows you to Specify the container names you want to upload to Azure. This module allows you to specify both source and target container names. If you don't specify the target container name, it will automatically assign the container name as <IoTHubName>-<IotEdgeDeviceName>-<ModuleName>-<ContainerName>. You can create template strings for target container name, check out the possible values column.
* %h -> IoT Hub Name (3-50 characters).
* %d -> IoT device ID (1 to 129 characters).
* %m -> Module Name (1 to 64 characters).
* %c -> Source Container Name (3 to 63 characters).

Maximum size of the container name is 63 characters, while automatically assigning the target container name if the size of container exceeds 63 characters it will trim each section (IoTHubName, IotEdgeDeviceName, ModuleName, ContainerName) to 15 characters.
  • Time To Live: Configurable ability to automatically delete the data from local blob store.
    • The name of this setting is ttlSettings
FieldPossible ValuesExplanation
ttlOntrue, falseBy default it is set to false, if you want to turn it On set it to true
timeToLiveInMinutes<minutes>Specify the TTL in minutes. The module will automatically delete your blobs from local storage when TTL expires
  • Tiering and TTL support is only available for Linux AMD64 and Linux ARM32
