# Azure

This page is really just here to point to [the S3 instructions](/topics/how-tos/storage-backends/aws-s3.md) because everything is basically the same. 

You need a `AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING` environment variable holding your storage account connection string. Other than that, there's no additional setup — just use of `azure://` instead of `sftp://` or `s3://` in `config/config.ini` or when you add content with `FileManager` or `PathsManager`. 

So easy!
