Skill 2.1 Secure Storage Flashcards
How are storage accounts managed
through Azure resource manager, Mangement operations are authenticated and authroized using Azure Active directory and RBAC
How are storage account services exposed
as a interent facing endpoint
What does a storage firewall do
allows you to limit access to specific IP addresses or a range
What route do service endpoints create
a direct network route from the virtual network to the endpoitn
What are the two steps to configure service endpoints
- From the virtual network subnet create the route from the subnet to the storage service but does not restrict which storage account the virtual network can use
- Configuring which virtual networks can access a particular storage account.
Describe blob storage access levels
by default no public read access is enabled for anonymous users, and only users with rights granted through RBAC or with the storage account name and key will have access to the stored blobs
What are blob storage access levels,
Private – With this option only the stroage account owber can access the container and its blobs
Blob – with this optio nonly blobs within the container can be accessed anonymously
Container – blobs and there containers can be access anonymously
What is a Shared Access Signature Token (SAS Token)
URI query string parameter that grans access to specific containers, blobs, queues, and tables. Used to grant access to a client that should not have access to the entire storage account
How do SAS tokens grant access to resources
for a specific period of time with a specified set of instruction
What are SAS tokens widely used for
to copy blobs or files to another storage account
What protocol do SAS tokens use
HTTPS protocol
What are blob
Provides a highly scalable service for storing abitrary data such as text or binary data
What are the three types of blobs
Append Blobs
Block Blobs
Page Blobs
What are storage account service tables
Provides a NoSQL-style store for storing structured data. Unlike a relational database, tables in Azure storage do not require a fixed schema, so different entries in the same table can have different fields
What are storage account Queues
Provide a reliable message queueing between applications
What are storage account files
Managed files shares that can be used by either Azure VM or on-prem servers
What Storage Account Service Disks do
Provides a persistent volume for Azure VM which can be attached as a virtual hard disk
What are the rules for naming storage accounts
Storage account name must be unique across all existing storage account names in Azure
Must be between 3 and 24 characters adn can contain only lowercase letters and numbers
What is a standard performance tier
Supports all storage services. Blobs, tables files, queues, and unmanged Azure virtual machine disks. Uses magnetic disks to provide cost-efficient and reliable storage
What is the premium performance tier
Designed to support workloads with gratr demand on I/O and is backed by high performance SSDS.
What kind of storage is supported by the standard account tier
General purpose v1 and V2 and blob
