Azure Basics Part3 (Storage Account)

Explore storage accounts in Azure basics Part 3, focusing on blob storage, files, and data objects within a namespace with endpoints, including standard general purpose v2 and premium options.

Create a storage account in a resource group with a unique name in East US, choose standard performance, and select local redundant storage, then explore containers, functions, queues, and tables.

Create a container in your storage account, choose access as private, upload a text file, and edit it in the editor before learning how to access the resource.

The lecture demonstrates how private access blocks anonymous access, how switching to blob and container access enables or denies access, and how container access allows enumerating all items.

Move data between hot, cool, and archive storage tiers based on access patterns, balancing storage costs and access latency, with minimum retention requirements and upcoming lifecycle rules.

Automate blob lifecycle management to move blobs to cool or cold storage or delete them after a set period, using a last-modified threshold of 10 days in data management.

Learn how to generate and use shared access signatures to delegate read and list access to Azure storage resources at account, container, and object levels.

Learn how to use storage account access keys—the root passwords for Azure storage—and when to use shared access signatures for controlled access, kept securely and never shared with untrusted parties.

Access a storage container using shared access and the command-line interface by uploading and downloading blobs with storage blob commands, specifying container name, storage account, and access key via console.

Access Azure Blob storage with the JavaScript SDK by installing the package, configuring the connection string, creating a container, and performing blob operations such as upload, list, and download.

Explore managed identity, eliminating credential management by giving apps an identity to access AD-authenticated resources. Link a compute resource to a managed identity and grant storage access.

Create a virtual machine, enable a system-assigned managed identity, and grant read access to a storage container using that identity to read files.

Enable a static website on the Azure storage account, set the index and error documents, and upload site files to the created container, then use the primary link.

Configure a custom domain for your static website by mapping a GoDaddy domain to the Azure endpoint using a CNAME, then save and wait a few minutes before verifying setup.

Learn how to protect a storage account by applying a delete lock at the storage account level or at the subscription level, preventing container deletion.

Azure basics part 3 shows how to enable soft delete for blobs and containers in a storage account, and recover deleted items via show deleted logs within seven days.

Learn how to enable and use blob versioning to preserve and restore previous versions, revert changes, and recover data in Azure storage accounts.

Explore redundancy options for storage accounts: locally redundant storage, zone redundant storage, geo redundant storage, and geo zone redundant storage, with synchronous and asynchronous replication across centers and availability zones.

Create a geo redundant storage account and container, upload data, and verify asynchronous replication to the secondary region. Learn how failover redirects DNS and converts storage to locally rented storage.

Understand object replication for Azure storage: asynchronously copy blobs between storage accounts to minimize latency, boost compute workloads, enable data distribution, and optimize costs with a lifecycle policy.

Set up object replication between two storage accounts by creating a destination container, selecting a source container, and uploading an object to verify asynchronous replication.

Explore Azure file system via Azure storage account, a fully managed file share accessible by Windows SMB and Linux network file system, offering shared access, resiliency, and no hardware maintenance.

Create a file share in a storage account with the transaction optimized tier, upload a file, and download it using a shared access signature with service and object permissions.

Connect a Linux virtual machine by copying and pasting a script, access folders across Linux, and verify files; you can connect multiple virtual machines to the same folder.
