Azure blob storage can be accessed using Managed Identity. This post will briefly talk about Managed Identity and enable Managed Identity to access Azure Blob from the WebApp. What is Managed Identity Managed Identity provides Azure services with an automatically managed identity in AAD (Azure Active Directory). It helps to authenticate to any service that supports AAD... Continue Reading →
The blob storage accessibility can be control using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Team members have read permission then they can view data inside blob storage which is quite useful for non-prod environment scenarios. But, if this is not a good use case for production environment. Production environment data security can be improved using Azure Data... Continue Reading →
Security should be a very first concern for any organization, and when it comes to the cloud, it becomes foremost to get protected with the best industry's practices. Here, we would see an Azure Defender definition, how to enable it for blob storage, and an Azure subscription. What is Azure Defender Azure Defender adds a... Continue Reading →
Immutable storage prevents the update or delete of blob objects for a retention period however, it allows to read and create blob objects. The blob objects state changes into WORM (Write once, Read Many) when immutable storage policies are enabled. This feature is available for general-purpose v2, general-purpose v1, Blob Storage, and Block Blob Storage... Continue Reading →
Data is everything in the current world, and no one wants to lose it. However, we need to follow the right strategies and best practices to know what is happening with data and how to recover if something wrong happens to data. Azure Storage Service provides many data protection options that are available under Recovery... Continue Reading →
Blob versioning helps to maintain the last modified version of an object (Files, Images or Videos, etc), if the same object is updated by any operation. If blob versioning is enabled, then any available previous copy can be restored. We should use blob versioning to maintain previous versions to enable another layer of data protection....

The cost analysis is one of the crucial activities while working on any Azure application. As Azure services involve some cost so an organization (small or big) should have an automatic mechanism to download reports on a schedule basis, review, and analyze it to understand the insights about expenses. Cost Management has a Cost Analysis... Continue Reading →
Generally, Azure Data Factory aggregate transform has been used to perform COUNT, SUM, MIN, and MAX. The aggregate transform uses Azure Data Factory (ADF) expression to perform these computations. However, the aggregate transform can be used with a select transform to remove duplicate data. Let's see how we can achieve it. Data Source Just to... Continue Reading →
Azure Blob Storage got a new feature named Object Replication. Currently, this feature is only supported for the block blob. Object replication asynchronously copies blobs between a source storage account and a destination account. Object replication helps to minimize latency and data distribution, and the implementation requires replication policies and rules to be set on... Continue Reading →
