Creating an ADLS storage credential for an AWS Workspace

[AndyKeel]

I'd like to create a storage credential for an Azure Storage Account in an AWS workspace. I then plan to use this storage credential to create an external volume.

Is this possible, and if so what are the steps? Thanks for any help!

Hi @AndyKeel, Yes, it is possible to create a storage credential for an Azure Storage Account in an AWS workspace and then use this storage credential to create an external volume. 

Here are the steps:

Create a Storage Credential for Azure Storage Account:

• You can create a storage credential for an Azure Storage Account using the Databricks CLI or REST AP.... Here is an example of how to do it using the CLI:

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊
