             Summary: Azure Blob Storage "Blob from URL"
                 Key: NIFI-9972
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9972
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Malthe Borch


The Azure SDK for Azure Blob Storage supports the "Put Blob from URL" and "Copy from URL" operations which allow server-to-server copying of blobs from one storage account to another.

This is perhaps antithetical to data processing in NiFi (since the implication is that the client does not actually see any of the data being transferred), but it is a very relevant data operation.

Today, to accomplish the same from NiFi you would need to call out to for example [azcopy|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-ref-azcopy] which means you lose out on credentials management etc.

Practically speaking, you would provide two credentials, one for the source and another for the destination and the would-be processor would then engage in the server-to-server copying operation.
