Multiple Azure Storage Integration with Rails 6 application - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have used Azure Active Storage for all the user files that are uploaded on my application developed using Rails v6. Works perfectly fine.
Now I wanted to make a copy of the files that are getting uploaded on my application to Another Azure storage account. How can I go about this approach. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

There are a couple of options available. One is using mirrors in storage.yml file. There you can configure multiple storage accounts even with different cloud service providers like Amazon and Azure. This is done at configuration level
s3_mirror:
service: S3
access_key_id: ""
secret_access_key: ""
region: ""
bucket: ""
development:
service: AzureStorage
root: <%= Rails.root.join("storage") %>
container: development
storage_account_name: my_account_name
storage_access_key: my_access_key
mirror:
service: Mirror
primary: development
mirrors:
- s3_mirror
Another way which was more usable for me was this piece of code suggested by a famous AI app
# First, install the gem
gem 'azure-storage-ruby'
# Then, in your code, you can use the Azure::Storage::Client class to connect
to a storage account
# Replace ACCOUNT_NAME and ACCOUNT_KEY with your storage account name and key
client1 = Azure::Storage::Client.create(storage_account_name: 'ACCOUNT_NAME',
storage_access_key: 'ACCOUNT_KEY')
client2 = Azure::Storage::Client.create(storage_account_name: 'ACCOUNT_NAME',
storage_access_key: 'ACCOUNT_KEY')
# You can then use the client objects to perform operations on the storage
accounts
blob_client1 = client1.blob_client
blob_client2 = client2.blob_client
# For example, you can list the blobs in a container like this:
blob_client1.list_blobs('my-container').each do |blob|
puts blob.name
end
blob_client2.list_blobs('my-container').each do |blob|
puts blob.name
end
