Azure storage Question

Does Blob storage can be mounted on linux or windows containers using NFS v3 or blobfuse ?

I know its possible on VM's. Just checking on containers.

    bvermani, you certainly can.  The mission is twofold: you build the container and install all the necessary dependencies. Then, you deploy it using the manifest that describes the share and the volume mount point. There was a plugin available earlier for the purpose, but it's now deprecated. It's suggested to use native tools as described https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-volume-azure-files (take a look at the yaml manifest that deploys a container and mounts a volume from Azure Storage).
