Design an RBAC StrategySecure Resource ScopesEvery Azure subscription associated w/ Azure Active Directory. Built in Roles assigned to Azure AD users, groups, and services3 Ways to Assign roles: 1. subscription 2. resource group 3. resource level. Assigned role defines the level of access on the Azure resource.

3 built-in roles Owner: has full control over Azure resources. Owner can perform all management operations on a resource including access management. Contributor: can perform all management operations except access management. So, a contributor can’t grant access to others.Reader: can only view resources. Reader can’t view secrets associated with a resource.

Minimal - Collects metrics such as ingress/egress, availability, latency, and success percentages, which are aggregated for the Blob, Table, and Queue services.Verbose - In addition to the minimal metrics, collects the same set of metrics for each storage operation in the Azure Storage Service API. Verbose metrics enable closer analysis of issues that occur during application operations. Off - Turns off monitoring. Existing monitoring data is persisted through the end of the retention period.
