Implementing advanced security features with Azure Storage services.

Set the initial variables:

cp config/template.tfvars .auto.tfvars

Create the test infrastructure and storage:

terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve

Use the Portal to create the containers app1 and app2 with the respective encryption scopes.

Do not enforce default for all blobs, so it is possible to test the scenarios with the app in this repository.

From the documentation:

• Standard allows you to have any data service (Blob, File, Queue, Table) and uses magnetic disk drives.
• Premium provides more services for storing data. For example, storing unstructured object data as block blobs or append blobs, and specialized file storage used to store and create premium file shares. These storage accounts use solid-state drives (SSD) for storage.

Additional comment on number of storages:

Typically, your data diversity, cost sensitivity, and tolerance for management overhead determine the number of storage accounts you need.

• Browser uploads
• Distributed access
• Streaming data
• Archiving and recovery
