A quick an easy way to authenticate on Azure management API is to use az cli get-access-token command and use this as a Bearer token on your API calls.
Given that you want to access https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/api you can use:
$token = az account get-access-token | ConvertFrom-Json
You can then get the access token with $token.accesstoken
Finally you can use this token as a Bearer token on your API calls
$headers = @{ Authorization = "Bearer $token.accesstoken" }
Given that you have a blob storage container with multiple files, you could download the most latest one easily with az cli
In my scenario I have a container named backups which includes multiple MS SQL backups. I wanted to download the latest in order to restore through a pipeline on SQL server.
In order to accomplish that you should first login with az cli.
az login
If this is not possible through automation you would have to create a managed identity for your resource. The code is uploaded on the below gist.
You should replace your connection string by getting yours under access keys.
If you remove descending date the default value would be Ascending.
By executing the script you will get a json output like the below:
In a recent scenario I had an app service on which I wanted to deploy a .zip package with the appropriate code.
My app service was based on .NET 6 backend and I created an emtpy REST api project to host the app service.
Command to deploy through az cli.
az webapp deploy --resource-group "app-service-rg" --name "geralexgr-webappstatic" --src-path C:\Users\galexiou\Desktop\netwebapp.zip --type zip
Result of deployment through az cli.
On Deployment center logs you can verify your deployment.
Then you can use your website url to get the content of the deployed site. For the .NET rest api default project I should have to get the
url/weatherforecast
