This affects anyone who is currently using the S3 API and is considering Azure Storage as an alternative or hybrid solution to their existing storage backend.
#Microsoft azure storage explorer compatibility update
To connect to Azure Storage, customers are required to update their existing code to use the Azure Storage SDK, which for enterprises can take awhile and S3-compatibility is one of the major features customers look for when they evaluate storage solutions side by side. S3Proxy allows applications using the S3 API to access storage backends like Microsoft Azure Storage. This post explains in detail how we added S3 API support to Azure Storage, and how you can leverage this solution to enable your applications to store and retrieve content from various cloud storage providers. Currently, Azure Storage does not natively support the S3 API. Customers use the S3 API to connect to many S3-compatible storage solutions such as Google storage, OpenStack, RiakCS, Cassandra, AliYun, and others. These S3-compatible competing service providers use the standard programming interface to help customers migrate and to enable customers to write cloud-agnostic solutions. Over the years, due to the wide adoption of Amazon S3, the S3 API has become the de facto standard interface for almost all storage providers.
