Azure Blob Storage

Land files in Blob storage.

The flat-namespace sibling of ADLS Gen2, for a storage account without hierarchical namespace enabled.

Capabilities: Sink (experimental)

What it does

Writes files through the Blob endpoint of a storage account that does not have hierarchical namespace enabled, so partition folders become key prefixes rather than real directories. For an account with hierarchical namespace feeding Databricks or Fabric, prefer ADLS Gen2 instead.

Configuration

• Storage account
• Container
• Base path

Authentication

• Account Key, SAS token, Service Principal, Managed Identity (system or user), or Workload Identity Federation

As an object store, the file format comes from the paired Output Format.
