Generate SAS Tokens in ARM Templates
Generate SAS Tokens in ARM Templates Without much fanfare, MS recently updated the ARM template spec to allow the creation of SAS tokens inside a template. This is excellent news for anyone who is deploying resources with ARM templates that rely on storage accounts and need a SAS token to access them.
For those not familiar with SAS tokens, you can read more on them here but essentially Shared Access Signatures (SAS) provide a way to generate a key to undertake operations on a storage account, without needing the actual storage account key.
