Storage Containers

Storage accounts are provisioned as part of a DXP project and are used for various purposes (for example, access logs or to download site contents). The storage container API allows access to the BLOB storage containers and contents. The API has the following operations.

List – Lists the available BLOB storage containers.
Generate SAS link – Generates a read-only or read-write SAS link for a blob container with a dynamic link expiration time.
Edge logs location - Generates a read-only SAS link for the edge logs location.

The storage containers API uses an authentication mechanism similar to other deployment APIs. See Deployment API authentication.

Epicloud Module

The EpiCloud PowerShell module adds the Get-EpiStorageContainer and Get-EpiStorageContainerSasLink and Get-EpiEdgeLogLocation cmdlets to perform the storage containers API operations using PowerShell. To install and connect the module to the authentication mechanism, see Deploy using PowerShell for information about installing the EpiCloud module.

Get-EpiStorageContainer

Fetches the list of BLOB storage containers for an environment in the project. Use the -Writable switch to list out writable containers. It is only available for integration and additional environments.

# Fetchs all read-only and writable containers
Get-EpiStorageContainer -ProjectId "76443fa4-ad6a-4517-a382-ac5900a18fa4" -Environment "Production"

projectId                            environment storageContainers
---------                            ----------- -----------------
76443fa4-ad6a-4517-a382-ac5900a18fa4 Production {azure-application-logs, azure-web-logs, mysitemedia}

# Fetchs writable containers
Get-EpiStorageContainer -ProjectId "76443fa4-ad6a-4517-a382-ac5900a18fa4" -Environment "Integration" -Writable

projectId                            environment storageContainers
---------                            ----------- -----------------
76443fa4-ad6a-4517-a382-ac5900a18fa4 Integration {mysitemedia}

Get-EpiStorageContainerSasLink

Generates a read-only or read-write SAS link for a specific BLOB storage container. The parameter -RetentionHours takes a dynamic value for the SAS link expiry; if not provided, it uses a default of 24 hours to generate the link. The -Writable switch generates read-write SAS links and is only available for integration and additional environments. The -Writable switch cannot be applied to read-only containers.

Get-EpiStorageContainerSasLink -ProjectId "2372b396-6fd2-40ca-a955-57871fc497c9" `
  -Environment "Preproduction" `
  -StorageContainer "azure-web-logs" `
  -RetentionHours 2

# Generate a writable SAS link to mysitemedia container
Get-EpiStorageContainerSasLink -ProjectId "2372b396-6fd2-40ca-a955-57871fc497c9" `
  -Environment "Integration" `

expiresOn     : 20/10/2020 10:13:28

Get-EpiEdgeLogLocation

Generates a read-only SAS link for the edge logs location of the project. The SAS link uses the default 24 hours to expiry.

# Fetchs edge logs location based on projectId
Get-EpiEdgeLogLocation -ProjectId "ac138482-0a55-420a-ab4a-b1a700206a64"
