# Connect to Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob Storage stores massive amounts of unstructured object data, such as text or binary data. Domino Data Sources is the easiest way to connect to Azure Blob Storage from Domino.

## Create an Azure Blob Storage Data Source

1. From the navigation pane, click **Data > Data Sources**.

2. Click **Create a Data Source**.

3. In the New Data Source window, from **Select Data Store**, select **Azure Blob Storage**.

4. Enter unique names for the account, container, and Data Source. Optionally, enter a **Description** to explain the purpose of the Data Source to others.

5. Enter your Azure Blob Storage [Access Key](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage?tabs=azure-portal#view-account-access-keys). The Domino secret store backed by HashiCorp Vault securely stores the credentials.

6. Click **Test Credentials** to validate authentication.

7. Select who can view and use the Data Source in Projects.

8. Click **Finish Setup**.
