# Azure Blob Storage

### Supported URL formats

Earthscale supports Azure URLs formatted like:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
https://{storageaccount}.blob.core.windows.net/{path_can_contain_glob_patterns}
```

{% endcode %}

Values in curly brackets are placeholders.

You can get URLs like this from Azure Storage Explorer:

### Security

Earthscale uses OpenID Connect (OIDC) to securely access your cloud data using dedicated per-customer service accounts. This eliminates the need to share credentials while providing fine-grained access control over your cloud resources. It also lets you revoke access at any time if necessary.
