Access Azure blob storage from AKS

I have a .Net Core Api that returns data from SQL and a respective pdf/document from Azure Blob container/storage. I am developing a Proof of Concept to host this Api in AKS (Azure Kubernetes). My prototype returns data successfully from SQL (on Linux). However, I am unable to pull the document/pdf from blob storage.

Need information on how I can access blob storage from AKS.

Many thanks Ramesh

You can use Blobfuse to access Blob storage from AKS.

Blobfuse works by creating a virtual file system on a Linux host. Whenever a file on that system is requested, the driver will retrieve it from Blob Storage and put it in a temporary folder so the operations can be completed, then it writes the changed file back to Blob Storage once the file handles on the file have been released.

Tradeoff: Access to files may be slow and highly latent.

Advantage: Cheaper than file storage for the same relative amount of data.
