AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure
Implementing Shared Access Signatures
Introduction
In this lesson, we cover how to implement Shared Access Signatures (SAS) for Azure Storage to securely control access to your storage resources.
We begin by exploring the concept of Shared Access Signatures (SAS) and the mechanisms by which they control permissions. You will learn how to manage and restrict access using SAS tokens, a critical component for securing data in Azure Storage.
Azure Storage offers various authentication methods, including anonymous access, account keys, and Microsoft Entra ID, making it essential to understand when and how to use SAS efficiently within your security strategy.
Note
It's important to understand all available authentication methods. Knowing when to use SAS tokens, stored access policies, or other methods is key to building secure and scalable storage solutions.
We will also introduce stored access policies, which provide an additional layer of control over SAS permissions, enabling more flexible and secure management of access rights.
Let's dive in and explore the fundamentals of Shared Access Signatures (SAS) and how they empower you to manage secure access to Azure Storage resources.
