python-storage-blob

azure storage container modifications using python sdk and create workflow

Pre requesites

• this program expects the storage account access key to be configured as a secret in kv
  • This is a best practice to not hardcode any sensitive values into public repositories and leverage key vault.

What does the code do?

• It can create container in storage account
• it can delete a container from storage account
• It can create a SAS token for an expiry time using SP credentials
• it can recover a deleted container (soft delete enabled on storage account) from name
• it can recover all deleted containers in storage account
• it can list all containers and last modified date
• it can copy contents of a container to another (blob contents alone)

What is the new features to be added?

• • --> this will be done in a seperate repo for blob operations

• Uploading a blobs / directory

• deleting blobs / directory inside container

• Listing blobs / directory inside container

• Downloading blobs / directory

• Copying blobs / directory

secret_name	yes	no	secret name of storage account access key in key vault

How to run the code

- Program is still in development, will add later

pipenv run python3 storage_containers.py --keyvault_name architects-keyvault \
                                         --secret_name ARM-ACCESS-KEY \
                                         --time_limit_of_sas_token 0.5 \
                                         --storage_account techarchitectssa \
                                         --container_name test2 \
                                         --action recover_all_deleted_containers 
                                                               

 pipenv run python3 storage_containers.py --keyvault_name <keyvault name> --secret_name <secret name> --time_limit_of_sas_token <SAS token validity time> --storage_account <storage account name> --container_name <container name> --action <action>
