Secure storage for Azure Files and Azure Blob Storage

Microsoft via Microsoft Learn

Overview

  • Module 1: Discover ways to use an Azure Storage account to manage your data for billing, access, and storage location of your blobs, files, queues, and tables.

    In this module, you will:

    • Decide how many storage accounts you need for your project
    • Determine the appropriate settings for each storage account
    • Create a storage account using the Azure portal
  • Module 2: Learn how to configure Azure Blob Storage, including tiers and object replication.

    In this module, you learn how to:

    • Understand the purpose and benefits of Azure Blob Storage.
    • Create and configure Azure Blob Storage accounts.
    • Manage containers and blobs within Azure Blob Storage.
    • Optimize blob storage performance and scalability.
    • Implement lifecycle management policies to automate data movement and deletion.
    • Determine the best pricing plans for your Azure Blob Storage.
  • Module 3: Learn how to configure common Azure Storage security features like storage access signatures.

    In this module, you learn how to:

    • Configure a shared access signature (SAS), including the uniform resource identifier (URI) and SAS parameters.
    • Configure Azure Storage encryption.
    • Implement customer-managed keys.
    • Recommend opportunities to improve Azure Storage security.
  • Module 4: Ensure your data is stored, transferred, and accessed in a secure way using Azure storage and file security features.

    By the end of this module, you will be able to:

    • Define data sovereignty and how that is achieved in Azure
    • Configure Azure Storage access in a secure and managed way
    • Encrypt your data while it is at rest and in transit
    • Apply rules for data retention
  • Module 5: Find out how Azure network security groups and service endpoints help you secure your virtual machines and Azure services from unauthorized network access.

    In this module, you will:

    • Identify the capabilities and features of network security groups.
    • Identify the capabilities and features of virtual network service endpoints.
    • Use network security groups to restrict network connectivity.
    • Use virtual network service endpoints to control network traffic to and from Azure services.
  • Module 6: In this module, you practice storing business data securely by using Azure Blob Storage and Azure Files. The lab combines both learning and hands-on practice.

    In this module, you practice how to:

    • Create and configure a storage account.
    • Create and configure blob storage.
    • Create and configure Azure Files.
    • Configure encryption for storage.
    • Configure networking​ for storage.
