Azure blob as attachment repository
Hi All – in one of our project [in pega cloud 8.7.5] we are planning to use Azure Blob as attachment repository. As per below article for pega cloud repository which is on AWS ,individual files can be up to 5 TB.
Do you know if we have similar kind of things for Azure also ?What is size limit in pega cloud to store files in azure blob?
- No limits on file counts or total storage size-By not limiting the number or size of files stored, Pega Cloud File storage can scale to your business needs. Individual files can be up to 5 TB.
looking for your help please.

Hi @DUTTAR01
The 5TB limitation has nothing to do with Pega Cloud.
In AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service), the maximum size of a single object (file) that can be stored is currently 5 terabytes (TB). This is the maximum object size supported by S3. Hence the limitation
Similarly you need to look at Azure blob limitations to identify your list of constraints
In Azure Blob storage, the maximum size of a single block blob (which is the default type of blob in Azure storage) is 195 GB. However, Azure Blob storage also supports appending blobs and page blobs, each with their own size limitations.
- Append blobs: Append blobs are optimized for append operations and are ideal for scenarios such as logging. They support a maximum size of 195 GB.
- Page blobs: Page blobs are optimized for random read/write operations and are commonly used to store VHD files for Azure Virtual Machines. They support a maximum size of 8 TB.
So, depending on the type of blob you choose and your specific use case, the maximum size limitation can vary.

@SoumyajitB - thank you so much for your reply. From your post my understanding is there is no limitation from Pega cloud software perspective ,all depends on how much size Azure can support , right ?Also there is no limitation from Pega repository API side for upload and down load , am I correct ?
