## Overview

This repository provides two Azure Resource Manager templates for deploying an SFTP service backed by existing file shares, with an optional DNS label. The documented workflow is to create a resource group, deploy one template with Azure CLI, then connect to the deployed SFTP service using configured users. The README documents secure credentials, per-user folders, and share selection. Source excerpts were unavailable, so the graph shows only these documented relationships and does not detail template internals.

Main entry points: [`sftp-existing-stg-multi-users-with-dnslabel.json`](https://github.com/mutazn/azure-sftp-templates/blob/main/sftp-existing-stg-multi-users-with-dnslabel.json) (DNS-label template), [`sftp-existing-stg-multi-users.json`](https://github.com/mutazn/azure-sftp-templates/blob/main/sftp-existing-stg-multi-users.json) (No-DNS template)

## Components

### Deployment templates

- [DNS-label template](https://github.com/mutazn/azure-sftp-templates/blob/main/sftp-existing-stg-multi-users-with-dnslabel.json): `sftp-existing-stg-multi-users-with-dnslabel.json`
- [No-DNS template](https://github.com/mutazn/azure-sftp-templates/blob/main/sftp-existing-stg-multi-users.json): `sftp-existing-stg-multi-users.json`

### SFTP infrastructure

- **SFTP container group**
- **Existing file shares**

### Other components

- **Operator**
- **Azure deployment**
- **DNS label**
- **SFTP user**

## Connections

- Operator → Azure deployment: deploys with CLI
- Azure deployment → DNS-label template: reads template
- Azure deployment → No-DNS template: reads template
- Azure deployment → SFTP container group: deploys SFTP
- Azure deployment → Existing file shares: uses existing shares
- Azure deployment → DNS label: assigns optional label
- SFTP user → SFTP container group: connects by SFTP
- SFTP container group → Existing file shares: stores uploaded files
