Microsoft Azure

This section describes the Microsoft Azure integrations with Posit Package Manager.

Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files

Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files can both be used as shared file systems for Package Manager. Both services support NFS and meet Package Manager’s storage requirements.

Azure NetApp Files offers sub-millisecond latency and higher throughput compared to Azure Files, which may be beneficial for demanding workloads. For a detailed comparison, see Compare Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files.

Please reference the Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files section for more information and recommendations for improving performance.

Note

Package Manager does not support Azure Blob Storage (Azure’s object storage service) as a storage provider at this time.

Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Azure Database for PostgreSQL can be used as a database backend for Package Manager.

Note

Many PostgreSQL service providers are compatible with Package Manager, including Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS) for PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora, Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, and more.

For more information on using PostgreSQL as a database provider, reference the PostgreSQL section of this guide.
