This article provides the necessary steps needed to programmatically connect to your Umbraco Cloud Environment's Azure Blob Storage containers, in case you want to persist files programmatically.

Looks good, @alina-tincas 🙌 I've tested out the steps and it works as expected.

I've left a couple of suggestions 🙂

What's not entirely clear from this documentation is why you'd want to use this, because Azure Blob Storage on Cloud is already correctly configured and used as media file system (and ImageSharp cache)...

If you use the MediaFileManager.FileSystem abstraction (as per Accessing the media file system from code), you already have access to the Blob Storage on Cloud and the same code will work on your local environment (which will use the default PhysicalFileSystem again).

Hi @ronaldbarendse!

The idea with this article is not to just connect to blob storage programmatically but also add media in a way that it is stored only in blob storage. Currently as it is there are some scenarios where some clients might want to store media in blob storage for some internal reasons, so the media from blob should not have the links publicly as they are. Perhaps I can update the docs with a bit more elaboration about this 👍
