Azure Storage account contd

Activity 3: Accessing the private item

• Refer Here for SAS (Shared access signature)
• SAS is temporary access to an item for a limited time period
• Acess Keys in Storage Account: Refer Here
• Create a container with private access
  
• upload some item into private container and try accessing from url
  
• Every storage account will have two access keys key1 and key2. These keys can be used to access the storage account content programatically
• Now lets generate SAS for a blob item based on key1
  
  
  
• Now access the object using url with SAS token
  
• This stops working in two cases
  • date is expired
  • acess key is rotated

Activity 4: Rotate access keys

• Since access keys give programatic access to storage account. It is recommended to rotate access keys
• Refer Here for the section

Activity 5: exploring containers

• Create a resource group and a storage account (Standard)
  
• Upload two files (one.txt two.txt) in two private containers
• make a note of resource group, storage account, container name
• delete the resource group
• Can we recover yes
  • We can recover
    • blob
    • container
    • storage account.
• Lets understand soft delete. The delete object will not be actually delete but marked for delete for 7 days (configured days)
  
• Refer Here for recovering storage account
