The az storage command group within the Azure CLI provides a comprehensive interface for interacting with Azure Storage services. It allows users to manage storage accounts, containers, blobs, queues, tables, and file shares directly from the Linux terminal.

You can perform a wide range of operations, including creating, deleting, listing, and configuring storage resources. This includes uploading and downloading data to and from Azure Blob Storage, managing access policies, and configuring storage account settings.

It supports different authentication methods to securely connect to your Azure Storage resources. The command also allows users to perform various storage account management tasks such as account creation, deletion, listing, key rotation, and network rule configuration.

Using az storage, users can automate storage management tasks, integrate them into scripts, and streamline their workflow for interacting with Azure Storage.

• Authentication methods require appropriate Azure CLI configuration and permissions.
• Improper use of account keys can compromise security.
• Large-scale operations can impact performance and cost.
• Pay attention to version dependencies between az cli version and storage api version.

• az storage account: Managing storage accounts.
• az storage blob: Managing blobs and containers.
• az storage queue: Managing queues.
