Azure Blob Storage

create_storage_account.txt
CREATE STORAGE ACCOUNT
az storage account create \
  --name mystorageacc123 \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --location eastus \
  --sku Standard_LRS

# Create a container
az storage container create \
  --name uploads \
  --account-name mystorageacc123 \
  --public-access blob
upload_files.txt
UPLOAD FILES
# Get connection string
az storage account show-connection-string \
  --name mystorageacc123 --resource-group myapp-rg

# Upload a file
az storage blob upload \
  --container-name uploads \
  --file ./photo.jpg \
  --name photo.jpg \
  --connection-string 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=...'
sas_token_(python_sdk).txt
SAS TOKEN (PYTHON SDK)
from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient, generate_blob_sas, BlobSasPermissions
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

sas_token = generate_blob_sas(
    account_name='mystorageacc123',
    container_name='uploads',
    blob_name='photo.jpg',
    account_key='...',
    permission=BlobSasPermissions(read=True),
    expiry=datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=1)
)
url = f'https://mystorageacc123.blob.core.windows.net/uploads/photo.jpg?{sas_token}'

AZURE SQL DATABASE
az sql server create \
  --name my-sql-server --resource-group myapp-rg \
