Azure Blob Storage should support Identity authentication

[XVincentX]

Azure Blob Storage asks for a container name as well as a connection string, implying that the only way to use it is through a shared access key.

Azure Blob Storage should support Managed and System Identities to avoid having to put secrets here and there

Current workaround for people that cannot wait for the fix:

const c = new BlobsStorage(
  "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=baffino;AccountKey=fake;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net",
  "fakeContainerName"
);

/* @ts-ignore */
c["_containerClient"] = new ContainerClient(
  env.BLOB_STORAGE_URL,
  new DefaultAzureCredential({ managedIdentityClientId: env.AZURE_CLIENT_ID })
);
return c;

Hi @XVincentX, these changes are included in the preview version 4.21.0-dev.20230612.5ee34c0.

I downloaded that version but it sounds like the change was not included. I still can see the old constructor

The new parameters (URL and credential) were added as optional in the old constructor.

Yeah I can see the code matches. There is definitely wrong on my side. Thanks!

What stable version is this targeted to be released in v4.21.0? Is there an estimated release date for this?
