Overridden Defaults

In general, we wish to follow the upstream object_store as closely as possible, which should reduce the maintenance overhead here.

However, there are occasionally places where we want to diverge from the upstream decision making, and we document those here.

Azure CLI

We always check for Azure CLI authentication as a fallback.

If we stuck with the upstream object_store default, you would need to pass use_azure_cli=True to check for Azure CLI credentials.

The Azure CLI is the second-to-last Azure authentication method checked checked. So this only changes the default behavior for people relying on instance authentication. For those people, they can still pass use_azure_cli=False.

See upstream discussion here.
