## Types

### AssetPutProperties

- `storageAccountName` (string, required) — The name of the storage in MK.IO.
- `alternateId` (string, optional) — An alternate ID of the asset.
- `container` (string, optional) — The name of the container if this asset is stored in an Azure storage account.
- `containerDeletionPolicy` (enum, optional) — This field defines the deletion policy for the underlying storage. This determines the behavior when an asset record is deleted. There are two options, 'Delete', and 'Retain'. A deletion policy of 'Delete' will result in the associated storage container or folder and all its contents being removed. A deletion policy of 'Retain' will leave the content in place. If left blank, the default behavior of the system will be to retain content. Once set by the user, this value can be modified, but not un-set.
  - Allowed values: `Delete`, `Retain`
- `description` (string, optional) — The Asset description.
- `encryptionScope` (string, optional, nullable) — Accepted, not supported. The name of the encryption scope to use within your storage container. Errors may be cryptic.
- `storageEncryptionFormat` (enum, optional) — This field was deprecated in the v3 API. Accepted, not supported. Use an encryption scope instead.
  - Allowed values: `None`, `MediaStorageClientEncryption`
- `subPath` (string, optional) — Optional subpath for instances where your asset is not in the root of the container. This needs to be an absolute directory path and can't be an empty string or start with '.', './' or '/' or end with '/'. Valid examples: 'path', 'path2', 'path/to/asset'

### AssetProperties
