v.22.1New Feature

Adding Azure Blob Storage Support for Disks

Adding support for disks backed by Azure Blob Storage, in a similar way it has been done for disks backed by AWS S3. #31505 (Jakub Kuklis).
Added support for disks backed by Azure Blob Storage, enabling ClickHouse to use Azure Blob Storage as a storage backend similarly to AWS S3-backed disks.

Why it matters

This feature allows ClickHouse users to leverage Azure Blob Storage for storing data files, expanding cloud storage options and integration beyond AWS S3. It simplifies managing storage in Microsoft Azure environments, providing scalable and cost-effective cloud storage for ClickHouse data.

How to use it

To use Azure Blob Storage disks, configure a disk entry in the ClickHouse configuration file specifying the Azure Blob Storage credentials and container information. This setup is similar to configuring S3-backed disks but uses Azure-specific parameters.
