I am putting together a website which I would like to host static content via Azure Blob. The documentation is very clear on how to set "Public read access for blobs only" to a container via this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-manage-access-to-resources
In my development environment I am using the Azure storage emulator (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-use-emulator).
My question is: How can I set the permission of a container in the emulator to "Public read access for blobs only"?
I think I answered my own question. Unlike the Azure Portal the Emulator does not provide a mechanism to create a container and by extension set/modify the access policy. Using a third party tool such as CloudBerry Explorer will allow for the setting of the policy when a container is created. Additionally it is possible to set/modify the policy through code:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-manage-access-to-resources
public static void SetPublicContainerPermissions(CloudBlobContainer container)
{
BlobContainerPermissions permissions = container.GetPermissions();
permissions.PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Container;
container.SetPermissions(permissions);
}

So I have an Azure Database and want to test extended events with the database.
I was able to set up my Blob Storage container and was able to get Extended Events via Azure Database to work as long as the Blob Storage network setting Public network access is set to Enabled from all networks. If I set Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses and have Microsoft network routing checked as well as Resource type set with Microsoft.Sql/servers and its value as All In current subscription, it still doesn't work.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong and I'm not able to find any documentation on how to make it work without opening up to all networks.
The error I'm getting is:
The target, "5B2DA06D-898A-43C8-9309-39BBBE93EBBD.package0.event_file", encountered a configuration error during initialization. Object cannot be added to the event session. (null) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 25602)
Edit - Steps to fix the issue
#Imran: Your answer led me to get everything working. The information you gave and the link provided was enough for me to figure it out.
However, for anyone in the future I want to give better instructions.
The first step I had to do was:
All I had to do was run Set-AzSqlServer -ResourceGroupName [ResourcegroupName] b -ServerName [AzureSQLServerName] -AssignIdentity.
This assigns the SQL Server an Azure Active Directory Identity. After running the above command, you can see your new identity in Azure Active Directory under Enterprise applicationsand then where you see theApplication type == Enterprise Applicationsheader, click the headerApplication type == Enterprise Applicationsand change it toManaged Identities`and click apply. You should see your new identity.
The next step is to give your new identity the role of Storage Blob Data Contributor to your container in Blob Storage. You will need to go to your new container and click Access Control (IAM) => Role assignments => click Add => Add Role assignment => Storage Blob Data Contributor => Managed identity => Select member => click your new identity and click select and then Review + assign
The last step is to get SQL Server to use an identity when connecting to `Blob Storage.
You do that by running the command below on your Azure SQL Server database.
CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL [https://<mystorageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/<mystorageaccountcontainername>]
WITH IDENTITY = 'Managed Identity';
GO
You can see your new credentials when running
SELECT * FROM sys.database_scoped_credentials
The last thing I want to mention is when creating Extended Events with
an Azure SQL Server using SSMS, it gives you this link. This only works if you want your Blob Storage wide open. I think this is a disservice and wish they would have instructions when you want your Blob Storage not wide open by using RBAC instead of SAS.
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment I got the result successfully like below:
To resolve this issue, check whether your account type should be
StorageV2(general purpose v2). If you have a general-purpose v1 or blob storage account, try to upgrade like below.
In storage account -> under setting, configuration -> upgrade
Check whether you have choose Allow trusted Microsoft services to access this storage account under exception and I added firewall client Ip address range and vnet like below.
Make sure Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write permission in your storage account
After enabling firewall, we lose write access to the storage account and audit logs try to Resave the audit settings from the portal is required in order for auditing to function like below.
Note: Auditing to storage behind firewalls using user managed identity authentication type is not presently supported.
When I try to connect, I got result successfully like below:

I am looking for deploy an angular website to an Azure static website.
Unfortunately i am running under Azure DevOps Server (so on-premises) and there is no task to deploy to static website (but it is possible with Azure DevOps Services).
So basically i try to find powershell command which take as input an output artificat (a zip file) and deploy to static website.
Usually i used command Publish-AzWebApp but this one supports only Azure appservice and not Azure static website.
How can you achieve this ?

For Creating New or Publishing the existing Static Site to Static Web Apps, it's the same command used in Azure PowerShell.
New-AzStaticWebApp - This command creates a new static site or updates an existing static side in an existing resource group.
While creating the Static Web App or Publishing in Azure, you will use the GitHub RepositoryUrl and Repository token for continuous deployment.
Azure PowerShell Syntax of Creating or Publishing the Static Web App:
New-AzStaticWebApp -ResourceGroupName 'azure-rg-test' -Name 'staticweb-45asde' -Location 'Central US' -RepositoryUrl 'https://github.com/LucasYao93/blazor-starter' -RepositoryToken 'githubAccessToken' -Branch 'branch02' -AppLocation 'Client' -ApiLocation 'Api' -OutputLocation 'wwwroot' -SkuName 'Standard'
Refer to this Microsoft Doc - PowerShell Modules of Static web app for more information.
I am new to Azure. I have activated my free subscription to learn Azure. I have created one Storage account in my portal. In that account, I created one container.
I uploaded an image to that container successfully. When I click that image, I have found the URL in properties that I can use to access via browser.
But I am getting below error while performing the above operation.
<Error>
<Code>ResourceNotFound</Code>
<Message>
The specified resource does not exist. RequestId:<Guid> Time:2022-05-17T11:20:46.2299517Z
</Message>
</Error>
But the image does exist in that container. Why am I getting the above error? How do I avoid that error?
I have tested in my environment. Please note that, when you are creating a new container, it's access level will be private by default.
Please check the access level of your container is Private or not like below:
Go to Azure Portal -> Storage Accounts -> Your Storage Account -> Containers -> Your Container "Public access level"
If that access level is private, when you access the blob of that container directly via browser, you will get error like below:
To change the access level of your container:
Select your container that enables Change Access level Option -> Select Change Access Level -> Select Blob or Container from the dropdown -> Click Ok
Now, access the blob URL directly via browser, there will be no issues.
I want to setup a .NET Core web application on Cloud Run with a Google Cloud SQL database. I easily deployed the database which has a public IP on Cloud SQL and my web application with Docker Container on Cloud Run. I can access the database with SQL Server Management Studio without any difficulties and the web app is up and running as expected. The only piece missing is the link between them that allows them to connect.
In my web app, I got a connection string in that format :
Data Source=***;Initial Catalog=***;User ID=***;Password=***;Pooling=true;Trusted_Connection=false;Connection Timeout=60;Integrated Security=false;Persist Security Info={0};Encrypt=true;TrustServerCertificate=true;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;
Once I got the public IP and the connection name from Cloud SQL, how should be precisely be the connection string and/or the next steps?
Furthermore, in the connections tab under Cloud Run Service, I added the Cloud SQL connection. This is supposed to configure a Cloud SQL Proxy for me.
In order to connect to Cloud SQL from Cloud Run, you must follow this guide
You have already made some configurations in the Connections tab as stated in the Configuring Cloud Run section. You can check the guide for the Public IP since you configured your instance that way, to be sure that all steps were followed.
Briefly, the steps are:
Configure the service account for your service. Make sure that the service account has the appropriate Cloud SQL roles and permissions to connect to Cloud SQL.
The service account for your service needs one of the following IAM roles:
Cloud SQL Client (preferred)
Cloud SQL Admin
If the authorizing service account belongs to a different project than the Cloud SQL instance, the Cloud SQL Admin API and IAM permissions will need to be added for both projects.
Like any configuration change, setting a new configuration for the Cloud SQL connection leads to the creation of a new Cloud Run revision. Subsequent revisions will also automatically get this Cloud SQL connection, unless you make explicit updates to change it.
Go to Cloud Run
Configure the service:
If you are adding Cloud SQL connections to an existing service:
Click on the service name.
Click on the Connections tab.
Click Deploy.
Enable connecting to a Cloud SQL instance:
Click Advanced Settings.
Click on the Connections tab.
If you are adding a connection to a Cloud SQL instance in your project, select the desired Cloud SQL instance from the dropdown menu.
If you are deleting a connection, hover your cursor to the right of the connection to display the Trash icon, and click it.
Click Create or Deploy.
After you've double checked the steps above, you could continue with the section Connecting to Cloud SQL. You can follow the steps on the Public IP tab.
Connect with Unix sockets
Once correctly configured, you can connect your service to your Cloud SQL instance's Unix domain socket accessed on the environment's filesystem at the following path: /cloudsql/INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME.
The INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME can be found on the Overview page for your instance in the Google Cloud Console or by running the following command:
gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME].
These connections are automatically encrypted without any additional configuration.
The code samples shown below are extracts from more complete examples on the GitHub site. To see this snippet in the context of a web application, view the README on GitHub.
// Equivalent connection string:
// "Server=<dbSocketDir>/<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>;Uid=<DB_USER>;Pwd=<DB_PASS>;Database=<DB_NAME>;Protocol=unix"
String dbSocketDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DB_SOCKET_PATH") ?? "/cloudsql";
String instanceConnectionName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME");
var connectionString = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder()
{
// The Cloud SQL proxy provides encryption between the proxy and instance.
SslMode = MySqlSslMode.None,
// Remember - storing secrets in plain text is potentially unsafe. Consider using
// something like https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/overview to help keep
// secrets secret.
Server = String.Format("{0}/{1}", dbSocketDir, instanceConnectionName),
UserID = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DB_USER"), // e.g. 'my-db-user
Password = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DB_PASS"), // e.g. 'my-db-password'
Database = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DB_NAME"), // e.g. 'my-database'
ConnectionProtocol = MySqlConnectionProtocol.UnixSocket
};
connectionString.Pooling = true;
// Specify additional properties here.
return connectionString;
Google recommends that you use Secret Manager to store sensitive information such as SQL credentials. You can pass secrets as environment variables or mount as a volume with Cloud Run.
After creating a secret in Secret Manager, update an existing service, with the following command:
gcloud run services update SERVICE_NAME \
--add-cloudsql-instances=INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME
--update-env-vars=INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME=INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME_SECRET \
--update-secrets=DB_USER=DB_USER_SECRET:latest \
--update-secrets=DB_PASS=DB_PASS_SECRET:latest \
--update-secrets=DB_NAME=DB_NAME_SECRET:latest
