Azure Marketplace Coming early 2027

Blob Web Explorer in your Azure subscription.

The Azure Marketplace edition deploys Blob Web Explorer as an Azure Managed Application in your subscription, optionally inside your private network. Availability is planned for early 2027.

A fit for Azure-native organizations

The team workspace, closer to your infrastructure.

In your subscription

The application is deployed through Azure Marketplace into your Azure subscription, with a managed application resource group.

Your Microsoft Entra ID

Users sign in with their work account and you assign Administrator, Contributor and Reader roles from your tenant. Azure Discovery and Azure account connections are included.

New

Private network option

Run the application fully inside your virtual network, reachable only through a private endpoint with private DNS.

Your application data storage

Provide an existing storage account with Table service for users, linked containers, shares, indexes and activity records. Managed identity is the recommended connection method.

Know the boundaries

Clear responsibilities, before deployment.

Your Blob files and Blob Web Explorer's application records serve different purposes. Plan both storage access and ongoing operations.

Read the full setup guide
01

Blob content

Your files stay in the Azure Blob containers you connect. The application needs appropriate access to those containers.

02

Application records

You provide the Table Storage account and manage its backup, retention and network rules. Grant the required data access after deployment when using managed identity.

03

Managed application operations

The application uses publisher provisioning and support services. Managed resource access, updates and required outbound connectivity are described in the Terms of Use and deployment guide.

A guided path to deployment

Prepare. Deploy. Connect your team.

01

Prepare your environment

Prepare your Microsoft Entra ID application roles and an existing application data storage account.

02

Run the Azure wizard

Select the region and hosting options. Create or reuse a supported Linux App Service plan and Application Insights resource.

03

Complete the setup

Finish identity redirect settings, assign the first application administrator, grant storage access when needed, and link your Blob containers.

Plan for both software and Azure resources. Marketplace software charges follow the published offer terms. Azure resources and storage consumption can create additional charges in your subscription. Review the listing and your Azure configuration before purchasing.

Your questions, answered

Evaluate the fit before you deploy.

Is this the same as the hosted SaaS service?

It is the same product family, with a different deployment and identity model. Marketplace deploys an enterprise application in your subscription; the public SaaS service is hosted by us and uses self-service plans.

Do we need to enter publisher passwords?

No. The current deployment provisions the application registry and support credentials automatically into the deployment. You still configure your own identity provider and the required storage access.

Is everything completely isolated from external services?

No. Application resources run in your subscription, but provisioning and support require access to publisher services. Review required outbound connectivity and support data handling in the deployment guide and Privacy Policy.

Can we use an existing App Service plan?

Yes, supported Linux plans in the selected region can be reused. Review tier and capacity requirements in the setup guide. Changes to a shared plan can affect the application.

Can you operate the deployment for us instead?

Yes. Enterprise gives you a dedicated instance operated by us, available today. Enterprise in your Azure, deployed from Azure Marketplace in your own subscription, launches in early 2027. Compare both.
