Lesson 1: Configure Services

Create Azure blob storage

You need to create Azure blob storage on your Azure account. Then, create two containers:

First, name it imgix - it will be used as assets source for the imgIX service.
Name the second one source - it will be required only for local testing purposes to simulate AEM Assets cloud storage.

During the setup, define the name of the imgIX subdomain serving transformed images. Write down that domain, since we
During the setup, define the name of the imgIX subdomain serving transformed images. Write down that domain, since we will need it later.
In the Security section, check Secure URLs checkbox
Once the source provisioning is finished, open it and click on the Show Token button in the Security section. Write down that token, too.

To test your configuration:

Upload any asset, e.g. image.png, to the imgix blob storage container
Go to https://dashboard.imgix.com/tools and sign the image URL using the URL https://<your-subdomain>.imgix.net/image.png
Open the signed URL in the browser to verify the image is loaded

Go to the https://console.adobe.io and create a new project using App Builder template.
Add the following services to your project workspace:
- Asset Compute
- I/O Management API
- I/O Events
When adding the first service, you will be asked to generate keys pair or upload your own. Pick Generate keys pair and your keys will be downloaded as a zip file.
Unzip the file and write down the location to the private.key.
