Serve /static-assets from Azure Blob Storage

To serve static assets from an Azure Blob Storage container:

1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗ and select your account and domain.
2. Navigate to Rules > Cloud Connector.
3. Select Microsoft Azure - Blob Storage as your cloud provider.
4. Enter the bucket URL. Here’s how to structure it:
   • Subdomain-style URL: Set the hostname to <BUCKET_NAME>.blob.core.windows.net. In this case, your bucket should include a folder named static-assets, and files should be placed inside this folder. For example, https://<YOUR_HOSTNAME>/static-assets/style.css will map to https://<BUCKET_NAME>.blob.core.windows.net/static-assets/style.css.
5. (Optional) Use the Rewrite URL feature of Transform Rules to adjust the URL structure. For example, you can create a URL rewrite that changes /static-assets to /my-pages-project/static-assets to match the file structure of your object storage bucket.
6. Click Next and enter a descriptive name like Serve static assets from Azure in Cloud Connector name.
7. Under If, select Custom filter expression and enter the following expression: http.request.full_uri wildcard "http*://<YOUR_HOSTNAME>/static-assets/*"
   
8. Select Deploy to activate the rule.

This setup ensures that all traffic matching http*://<YOUR_HOSTNAME>/static-assets/* (HTTPS and HTTP requests) is served from your Azure Blob Storage container. Make sure to replace <YOUR_HOSTNAME> with your actual hostname and adjust the example paths according to your setup.
