Copy Blob Between Azure Storage Accounts with C# Using DefaultAzureCredential

 Copying a blob between Azure storage account without downloading the blob locally is realy simple with azcopy command. Now using Azure.Storage.Blobs we can copy blobs between Azure sotrages without downloading the blob locally, with C# code as well. Using DefaultAzureCredential for the copy operation is useful, when we use apps with managed identities, such as workload identity in AKS. Let's explore steps necessary to copy a blob from one storage account to another with C# console app.

Cleanup Strategy for Azure Container Registry Based on Azure Pipeline Retained Builds

 We generally use Azue container registry to store our application docker images when we use AKS as the ochestrator for our applications. However, piling up of previous releases images, as well as images used for developer teting in Azure container registry increase costs. Therefore it is important to have a periodic cleanup mechanism setup to remove all unused images form the registry. Let's look at a strategy we can use to cleanup Azure container registry.

Deploying Azure Managed Grafana with Terraform
