How do I authenticate with Azure Blob Storage using this skill?

The skill recommends using Entra ID authentication via DeveloperToolsCredential for local development and ManagedIdentityCredential for production environments.

Can I manage containers as well as individual blobs?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for BlobServiceClient (account-level), BlobContainerClient (container-level), and BlobClient (blob-level) operations.

Does this skill support asynchronous Rust?

Yes, all operations are designed to be asynchronous and are intended to be used with an async runtime like Tokio.

What crates are required to use this Rust skill?

You will need to add both the 'azure_storage_blob' and 'azure_identity' crates to your Cargo.toml file.
