[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-7677) Upgrade Azure Storage API to latest (v12) to support extra SPP

["Malthe Borch (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7677?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17200593#comment-17200593 ] 

Malthe Borch commented on NIFI-7677:
------------------------------------

Why not 1.5 series – it does not break anything from the user perspective.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has done this 2.x to 12.x upgrade across the board on all platforms – I think it would be good for NiFi to make the transition sooner rather than later unless there are very compelling arguments for holding back.

> To enable support for extra types of SPP (service principal providers) when connecting to storage, we need to upgrade the Azure storage dependencies. This is required for the improvement referred in NIFI-6615 and related to epic NIFI-5481.
> From version 12 onwards, the Azure storage SDK's support the identity objects, and hence we open up support for new types of authentication such as:
>  * ManagedIdentityCredential
>  * EnvironmentCredential
>  * ClientSecretCredential
>  * ClientCertificateCredential
> (Referred here: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/java/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-java-stable)]
