Azure - many sites 1 service ( blob )

assuming I have 10 web sites & 1 blob(for images) site/cloud-service/wcf/whatever MS call it ,

How all 10 web sites , using this 1 blob service? For example I wanna each site to have admin page

to manage blob images ( crud ) ,

Make Azure-WCF-Blob service and each site will use it? How to secure it that only the 10 site can

have access ?

Other options?

( with 1 DB it no problem , only connection string... )

UPDATE :

I'll ask it more simple , 10 web sites , in each web site I don't wanna duplicate 10 times the code for Container operations , how I create 1 blob service/site/what's the best option here/ and then reuse it in each site ? each site will have a siteName/Admin controller , which can manage the container/blob

I'm not sure I fully understood the question, but based on the sentence "With 1 DB it's no problem, only connection string," I think what you're missing is that Windows Azure storage works the same way. You create a storage account, and from that you have an account name and key. In .NET, you even construct it as a connection string, so from all your websites, you would do:

var blobs = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=mystorage;AccountKey=abcd1234...").CreateCloudBlobClient();
// do stuff with blobs here

As long as you use the same connection string, all your websites will be using the same storage.

Ok so you're talking about blob storage. And if I understand your question, it looks like you want to make sure a website cannot access data (images) of an other website. In that case you have a few options:

  1. 1 website = 1 storage account. In Windows Azure you can create multiple storage accounts. These storage accounts will each have their own keys in order to get access to them. If you create a storage account per website it will be very easy to restrict access to those storage accounts.
  2. You can have a single storage account with multiple containers. On each container you can add a SharedAccessBlobPolicy to control access to a container without any time constraints, but you'll need the new "unreleased" version of the SDK to do this. This will allow your websites to access a specific container by using SAS signatures (this access can be revoked at any time).
  3. Build something yourself with a WCF services, but this could be more work.
