Manage Azure Storage Account Access Keys

[yasr_visitor_votes]

Lab Overview

When you create a storage account, Azure generates two 512-bit storage account access keys. These keys can be used to authorize access to data in your storage account via Shared Key authorization.

Microsoft recommends that you use Azure Key Vault to manage your access keys, and that you regularly rotate and regenerate your keys. Using Azure Key Vault makes it easy to rotate your keys without interruption to your applications. You can also manually rotate your keys.

Learning Objectives

In this Azure simulation, you will be guided through the process of regenerating both storage account access keys.
