wave Hello I recently submitted a draft PR for `stow` that adds Azure AD support Part of the effort in shoring up that PR is testing the `stow` branch in a Flyte deployment The changes are tested within the `stow` project but being able to try it all together would be a nice early check Is that something somebody here is interesting is trying out Or should I just follow

< David Espejo he him > Cool I should clarify though My main interest in testing at this stage is really about using a custom a build of flyte that uses the `flyteorg stow` branch I ve setup Even deploying that locally not in Azure and having it interact with azure storage accounts would be useful If you or anyone else has an interest in doing that loop I d appreciate it There is now a terraform module in my `flyteorg stow` branch for setting up an Azure storage account for testing If not that s fine too I just probably won t get around to sorting out a local build until late this week or next Just a lot of other things to do slightly smiling face

Just a quick update here I ended up putting together a local build of Flyte and swapping the `stow` implementation to use my local branch The good news is that `stow` works just fine and the dependency upgrades appear to cause no issues in the `flyte` project On startup using either AD auth or a shared key a container with the name specified under `storage container` is correctly created When running a workflow some `flytesnacks ` blobs are created so that s clearly working The bad news is that all my test workflows fail due to an exception in `flytekit` I haven t chased this down yet but the `ffspec` paths being created are rejected with the an error of ```Must provide either a connection string or account name with credentials ``` The fsspec created looks like ```<abfs myflytetest flytesnacks development VQMFYT6TQOXW63XGU3I2GO33IE====== scri> pt mode tar gz``` Maybe somebody here already knows what this is Otherwise this will need to wait until I can walk through the python library to see what s going on

< Samhita Alla> I see Thanks for pointing me to the right place That situation is not great It requires an easy to get wrong auth config in each pod template I ll first see if I can get things working using `AZURE STORAGE CONNECTION STRING` and then see if there is an easier way to manage the required configs
