Export from Yandex Cloud to Azure Blob Storage

CloudQuery is an open-source data integration platform that allows you to export data from any source to any destination.

The CloudQuery Yandex Cloud plugin allows you to sync data from Yandex Cloud to any destination, including Azure Blob Storage. It's free, open source, requires no account, and takes only minutes to get started.

Ready? Let's dive right in!

Step 1. Install the CloudQuery CLI

The CloudQuery CLI is a command-line tool that runs the sync. It supports MacOS, Linux and Windows.

brew install cloudquery/tap/cloudquery

Step 2. Configure the Yandex Cloud source plugin

Create a configuration file for the Yandex Cloud plugin and set up authentication.

Yandex Cloud is a partner plugin, which means that it is maintained by the Yandex Cloud team. Create a file called yandexcloud.yaml, then copy the example and follow the instructions in the Yandex Cloud Plugin Documentation ↗ to fit your needs.

Step 3. Configure the Azure Blob Storage destination plugin

Create a configuration file for the Azure Blob Storage plugin and set up authentication.

Configuration

Create a file called azblob.yaml and add the following contents:

kind: destination
spec:
  name: "azblob"
  path: "cloudquery/azblob"
  version: "v3.4.9"
  spec:
    storage_account: "cqdestinationazblob"
    container: "test"
    path: "path/to/files"

    format: "csv" # options: parquet, json, csv
    format_spec:
      # CSV-specific parameters:
      # delimiter: ","
      # skip_header: false

    # Optional parameters
    # compression: "" # options: gzip
    # no_rotate: false
    # batch_size: 10000
    # batch_size_bytes: 52428800 # 50 MiB
    # batch_timeout: 30s

Fine-tune this configuration to match your needs. For more information, see the Azure Blob Storage Plugin ↗ page in the docs.

Authentication

The plugin needs to be authenticated with your Azure account in order to fetch information about your cloud setup.

You can either authenticate with az login (when running locally), or by using a "service principal" and exporting environment variables (appropriate for automated deployments).

You can find out more about authentication with Azure at Azure's documentation (opens in a new tab) for the Go SDK.

Step 4. Start the Sync

Run the following command in your terminal to start the sync

cloudquery sync yandexcloud.yaml azblob.yaml

And away we go! 🚀 The sync will run until completion, fetching all selected tables from Yandex Cloud. Any errors will be logged to a file called cloudquery.log.
