Azure.ResourceManager.Storage 1.0.0-beta.8

Azure Storage Management client library for .NET

This package follows the new Azure SDK guidelines which provide a number of core capabilities that are shared amongst all Azure SDKs, including the intuitive Azure Identity library, an HTTP Pipeline with custom policies, error-handling, distributed tracing, and much more.

Getting started

Install the package

Install the Azure Storage management library for .NET with NuGet:

Install-Package Azure.ResourceManager.Storage -Version 1.0.0-beta.7

Prerequisites

Set up a way to authenticate to Azure with Azure Identity.

Some options are:

• Through the Azure CLI Login.
• Via Visual Studio.
• Setting Environment Variables.

More information and different authentication approaches using Azure Identity can be found in this document.

Authenticate the Client

The default option to create an authenticated client is to use DefaultAzureCredential. Since all management APIs go through the same endpoint, in order to interact with resources, only one top-level ArmClient has to be created.

To authenticate to Azure and create an ArmClient, do the following:

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;

ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());

Additional documentation for the Azure.Identity.DefaultAzureCredential class can be found in this document.

Examples

Create a storage account

Before creating a storage account, we need to have a resource group.

ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();

string rgName = "myRgName";
AzureLocation location = AzureLocation.WestUS2;
ArmOperation<ResourceGroupResource> operation = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, rgName, new ResourceGroupData(location));
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = operation.Value;

Then we can create a storage account inside this resource group.

//first we need to define the StorageAccountCreateParameters
StorageSku sku = new StorageSku(StorageSkuName.StandardGRS);
StorageKind kind = StorageKind.Storage;
string location = "westus2";
StorageAccountCreateOrUpdateContent parameters = new StorageAccountCreateOrUpdateContent(sku, kind, location);
//now we can create a storage account with defined account name and parameters
StorageAccountCollection accountCollection = resourceGroup.GetStorageAccounts();
string accountName = "myAccount";
ArmOperation<StorageAccountResource> accountCreateOperation = await accountCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, accountName, parameters);
StorageAccountResource storageAccount = accountCreateOperation.Value;

Get all storage accounts in a resource group

StorageAccountCollection accountCollection = resourceGroup.GetStorageAccounts();
AsyncPageable<StorageAccountResource> response = accountCollection.GetAllAsync();
await foreach (StorageAccountResource storageAccount in response)
{
    Console.WriteLine(storageAccount.Id.Name);
}

Get a storage account

StorageAccountCollection accountCollection = resourceGroup.GetStorageAccounts();
StorageAccountResource storageAccount = await accountCollection.GetAsync("myAccount");
Console.WriteLine(storageAccount.Id.Name);

Delete a storage account

StorageAccountCollection accountCollection = resourceGroup.GetStorageAccounts();
StorageAccountResource storageAccount = await accountCollection.GetAsync("myAccount");
await storageAccount.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);

Add a tag to the storage account

StorageAccountCollection accountCollection = resourceGroup.GetStorageAccounts();
StorageAccountResource storageAccount = await accountCollection.GetAsync("myAccount");
// add a tag on this storage account
await storageAccount.AddTagAsync("key", "value");
