Storage Management and Replication

In previous chapters, you explored the concept of storage account security. You learned about configuring network access to your storage accounts to restrict access to known and wanted networks only. You explored storage keys and how they can be used when generating Shared Access Signature (SAS) tokens for granting secure access to your storage for a predefined window of access. You then learned about stored access policies and how they extend the concepts of SAS tokens, as you can create a policy that can be modified and deleted after being shared, giving you more control over shared permissions.
