Follow these recommendations when you use Azure Blob Storage as a checkpoint store:
- Use a separate container for each consumer group. You can use the same storage account, but use one container per each group.
- Don't use the storage account for anything else.
- Don't use the container for anything else.
- Create the storage account in the same region as the deployed application. If the application is on-premises, try to choose the closest region possible.
On the Storage account page in the Azure portal, in the Blob service section, ensure that the following settings are disabled.
- Hierarchical namespace
- Blob soft delete
- Versioning
