Azure Blob Storage - How to read source string: wasbs://[email protected]

Question

I am doing a lab for an Azure Data course and there was some code to run from within Azure Databricks.

I noticed that it seemed to mount something from the following location:

wasbs://[email protected]

So I am trying to figure out how to deconstruct the above string

wasbs looks to mean "windows azure storage blob"

The string [email protected] looks like it means "container name"@"account name" - Which I would think should be something in my Azure Data Lake.

I dug around in my ADLS and was not able to find anything related to "[email protected]"

So I was wondering, where on earth did this come from? How can I trace back to where this path came from?

Answer 1

The url is indeed constructed as follows:

wasbs://[container-name]@[storage-account-name].blob.core.windows.net[directory-name] (source)

I dug around in my ADLS ...

You won't find it in ALDS, it is a seperate resource in your subscription. There should be a storage account named dbtrainsouthcentralus.

Note: It could also be a public accessible storage account in some training subscription you do not have access to and is provided by microsoft for training purposes.
