106
Q

Describe a ‘shared access signature (SAS)’

107
Q

What is the purpose of implementing a shared access signature (SAS)?

A

A secure way to share storage resources with unauthorized users without compromising your account keys.

108
Q

Can a shared access signature (SAS) be time based?

A

Yes; Specify the time interval for which a SAS is valid.

109
Q

A
  1. Account-level
  2. Service-level
110

  1. Via the Storage Account
  2. Via the Container
162
Q

What parameter is configured at the storage account level to allow public access?

A

Set the AllowBlobPublicAccess property to true or false.

163
Q

What are the two ways public access is granted at the storage account level?

A
  1. Public read access for blobs
  2. public read access for a container and its blobs
164
Q

In order to allow public access to blob storage, what two things must be configred?

A
  1. Storage account set to public access
  2. Container settings set to public access.
165
Q

What are the 3 types of Shared access signatures (SASs)?

A
  1. User delegation SAS
  2. Service SAS
  3. Account SAS
166
Q

How is ‘User delegation shared access signature (SAS)’ secured?

A

Secured with Microsoft Entra credentials; Can only be used for blob storage.

167
Q

How is a ‘Service shared access signature (SAS)’ secured?

A

secured using a storage account key to only once of four Azure Storage services.

168
Q

How is a ‘Account shared access signature (SAS)’ secured?

A

Secured with a storage account key; Can also control access to service-level operations.

169
Q

How many shared access signatures (SASs) can a single stored access policy be associated with?

A

Up to five active SASs.

170
Q

How is a shared access signature (SAS) encrypted?

A

The signature is signed with your storage account key when you create a service or account shared access signature or with a user delegation shared access signature in Entra ID.

171
