Design and Implement a Storage Strategy (20-25%) Flashcards
What are the 2 types of SAS keys?
- Service SAS - delegate to resource in one of the storage services
- Account SAS - delegate to resources in one or more storage services
What is a Shared access signature (SAS)?
A shared access signature is a signed URI that points to one or more storage resources and includes a token that contains a special set of query parameters. The token indicates how the resources may be accessed by the client.
What are the 2 forms of SAS keys?
- Ad hoc SAS
2. SAS with stored access policy
True/False: A shared access signature URI is associated with the account key used to create the signature, and the associated stored access policy (if any). If no stored access policy is specified, the only way to revoke a shared access signature is to change the account key.
True
What are Stored Access Polices?
Stored access policies give you the option to revoke permissions without having to regenerate the storage account keys. Set the expiration on these very far in the future (or infinite) and make sure it’s regularly updated to move it farther into the future.
What is the max characters allowed in a Stored Access Policy for the Unique Signed Identifier?
64 characters
What is the max number of access policies (Stored Access Policy) allowed on a container ?
5
True/False: To revoke a stored access policy, you can either delete it, or rename it by changing the signed identifier. Changing the signed identifier breaks the associations between any existing signatures and the stored access policy. Deleting or renaming the stored access policy immediately effects all of the shared access signatures associated with it.
True
What is the max number of days for a Retention Policy?
356 Days
What value do you use if you dont want a retention policy and want to be responsible for deleting the monitoring data when you see fit?
0
How are metrics stored in Azure?
in Table Storage of an Azure storage account
What is the name of the blob container for diagnostic logs?
$logs
Max Size of Storage Analytics?
20TB
What is the process to update a Storage Access Key(s)?
- Update connection sting in app code to reference the second access key.
- Regenerate Primary Access key for the storage account
- Update connection strings in code for primary keys
- regenerate Secondary keys in the same manner.
