Azure blobs - content uploader

Azure Blobs Content Uploader is designed as a github action, to help developers upload their build artifacts to multiple az-storage accounts, taking into account the absolute paths / relative paths / recursive structure from your file system.

It's especially meant to help with SPA developers (ex: artifacts of create-react-app) to quickly upload artifacts to a lot of storage accounts for redundancy and performance.

Configuration details

To configure this job, you'll need a few things.

Create your Entra App (Azure AAD app)

Once you create the app, give it write permissions to the storage accounts that you want to upload blobs to.

Get the Entra App details and add them to GitHub

Using Action Secrets, add the clientId, clientSecret, tenantId and further configurations below to Actions configuration.

Your local files

You should decide which directory to upload and to where on the storage accounts. This information is passed as parameters to the *.yaml file. See the directoriesToUpload parameter, which supports passing multiple directories. Note that while you can upload multiple directories, they will be uploaded to the same location.

      - name: Upload Static Content
        uses: armhil/azure-blobs-content-uploader@1.0.9
        with:
          clientId: ${{ secrets.ENTRA_CLIENTID }}
          clientSecret: ${{ secrets.ENTRA_CLIENTSECRET }}
          tenantId: ${{ secrets.ENTRA_TENANTID }}
          storageAccountList: ${{ secrets.STORAGE_ACCOUNT_LIST }} # Storage account names, in array form like ["account1", "account2"]
          containerName: "$web"
          directoriesToUpload: '[{"directoryToUpload": "test/integrationtest-directory", "shouldRecurse": "true" }]'

Hint: If you're uploading some static content for web-apps (like artifacts of create-react-app) - you can use the $web container from Azure Blob Storage.
