# Azure Blob Rehydration

<Badge className="hny-badge-enterprise-addon" stroke>Ent+</Badge>

<Note>
  This feature is available as an add-on for the [Honeycomb Enterprise plan](https://www.honeycomb.io/pricing/).
  Please contact your Honeycomb account team for details.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

Ensure you have access to an Azure Blob Storage account. Set up your Azure Blob Storage to store OTLP data in the required format for rehydration. More information on how to set this up can be found in the Azure documentation [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-event-overview).

## Blob Format

Rehydrated data must be in [OTLP format](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto) for correct processing. Ensure your data adheres to this format.
