Chapter 7: Securing Storage
This chapter focuses on one of the most common concepts when it comes to Azure and that is securing storage on the Azure platform. The focus here will be on implementing and managing storage from a security point of view, such as generating Shared Access Signature (SAS) tokens, managing access keys, configuring Azure Active Directory (AD) integration, and configuring access to Azure files. We will also explore the storage replication options available to us in Azure and understand the management of a blob's life cycle.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:
- Configuring network access to storage accounts
- Storage access keys
- Working with SAS tokens
- Configuring access and authentication
- Copying data by using AzCopy
- Configuring storage replication and life cycle
