This project was made to demonstrate the basic functions of cloud storage using blobs and queues. The project originally was made for Microsoft's Azure but has been refactored and modified to make use of Amazon's AWS as well. To get started you will need:
1. An active Azure or AWS account.
2. Basic knowledge of blobs (containers and/or buckets) and queues.
3. The account key(s) for your Azure or AWS account.
You will be creating an account on a website I've made using .NET MVC that can store multiple storage account credentials for both Azure and/or AWS. If you do not feel comfortable having your cloud account credentials stored on a 3rd party website, you can delete/edit the keys you stored on my application or use Azure/AWS to reset your key(s) after use.
1. You will need to login/register on the website with an email address and password.
2. Click the "MVC SASE" tab at the top left to enter the storage explorer application.
3. From the storage account page click the "Create New Storage Accont" link.
4. Input your account key(s) which need to be valid from your actual Azure/AWS acounts.
5. After creating at least one account, you can click the "Storage Explorer" link.
The latest update to the project included the ability to store an AWS account to the application. The blob storage function of the explorer appears to be working just fine for AWS accounts, however queue creation appears to be shakey. There are additional hoops to jump through with AWS since region assignment appears to be more elaborate than in Azure development. The application was tested with an already created AWS SQS queue and had appeared to work properly. However with queue creation there has been trouble getting the queues to operate properly. The issues shall be sorted out in a future patch.
This project was created to build and demonstrate a basic cloud project and is currently in on going development. As such there are new features being added periodically based on the developer's (me) desire to learn and present new ideas dealing with cloud technologies.
