For a conceptual overview of blob storage, see [the .NET guide for blob storage](/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-dotnet). For ease, these tutorials use [connection strings](/azure/storage/storage-configure-connection-string) to authenticate with Azure. For optimal security, you should use Microsoft Entra ID with [managed identities](/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/).

This community library offers idiomatic F# functions and patterns that make blob operations more natural in F#.

## Prerequisites

To use this guide, you must first [create an Azure storage account](/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create). You also need your storage access key for this account.
