This environment variable specifies the Azure Blob storage container name to recover data from. It is deployed only on the secondary (standby) cluster when dr="standby" and is removed when promoting to dr="active". Removing this variable changes the HumioCluster spec and may cause the operator to restart pods during promotion.

During reverse recovery (failback), this variable points to the secondary storage container.

This variable tells the cluster that it starts in a new environment. The cluster checks it only when it finds no global snapshot in the container that AZURE_STORAGE_BUCKET specifies. If that container holds a global snapshot, the cluster uses the snapshot and ignores this variable.

The container can be a replicated copy of the primary container. For example, you can replicate the primary container to a second region and set this variable to the replica. Set AZURE_STORAGE_BUCKET to a new, empty container in the recovery region. LogScale migrates the segments from the recovery container to the new container in the background.

Do not point AZURE_STORAGE_BUCKET at the replicated container instead. The global snapshot in the replica describes the old cluster, including its nodes and digest assignments, so the new cluster cannot use it. This setup is not supported.

Setting this variable requires BUCKET_STORAGE_MULTIPLE_ENDPOINTS to be true.
