# MinIO Azure Gateway [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)
MinIO Gateway adds Amazon S3 compatibility to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.
## Run MinIO Gateway for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
### Using Docker
```
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name azure-s3 \
-e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=azurestorageaccountname" \
-e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=azurestorageaccountkey" \
minio/minio gateway azure
```
### Using Binary
```
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=azureaccountname
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=azureaccountkey
minio gateway azure
```
## Test using MinIO Client `mc`
`mc` provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands such as ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services.
### Configure `mc`
```
mc alias set myazure http://gateway-ip:9000 azureaccountname azureaccountkey
```
### List containers on Microsoft Azure
```
mc ls myazure
[2017-02-22 01:50:43 PST] 0B ferenginar/
[2017-02-26 21:43:51 PST] 0B my-container/
[2017-02-26 22:10:11 PST] 0B test-container1/
```
### Use custom access/secret keys
If you do not want to share the credentials of the Azure blob storage with your users/applications, you can set the original credentials in the shell environment using `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT` and `AZURE_STORAGE_KEY` variables and assign different access/secret keys to `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD`.
### Known limitations
Gateway inherits the following Azure limitations:
- Only read-only bucket policy supported at bucket level, all other variations will return API Notimplemented error.
- Bucket names with "." in the bucket name are not supported.
- Non-empty buckets get removed on a DeleteBucket() call.
- _List Multipart Uploads_ always returns empty list.
Other limitations:
- Bucket notification APIs are not supported.
