Bobsled-managed application setup guide

This article will describe how to configure Bobsled to grant access to data transfers made to Azure Blob Storage. The data will be delivered to the Bobsled-managed destination and access will be authorized to the Azure application(s) configured in the destination.

Bobsled will generate a service principal and client secret(s) to be used to log in to the Azure CLI. Using this service principal, you will be able to access the delivered data with the generated credentials. This option is the easiest way to get your customer access to data via an Azure Storage Container, and should be used if your customer does not have a managed application in their Azure tenant and is a helpful option if your customer is generally is less sophisticated.
