Trigger a Jenkins build on Azure Blob update

Previously I had created an automation job for AWS where Jenkins keeps an eye on an SQS queue using the Jenkins AWS SQS Plugin and triggers a build job when it finds a message in the queue. The queue is configured to receive notification from an S3 Bucket whenever any "create" event occurs.

I am trying to test out a similar process on Microsoft Azure platform and am a little confused as to which Azure services to use. I see that Azure Event Grid can be used or maybe we can directly post notification from Blob Storage service or maybe use Azure Service Bus ?!?

Also, I did found a Jenkins Azure Storage plugin which has a slightly different but useful functionality.

As for documentation, I found only one link that is close to how this might be done but that too seems incomplete..

Any and all help appreciated.

You can use Azure Functions for it. Write a code that will be triggered when a new blob arrives / existing blob gets updated, then do a request to your jenkins to queue a build.

Here are useful links:
