azure-sdk-for-net VS steampipe

Microsoft.Extensions.Azure is an extension library that allows for uniform integration of the Azure SDK into your applications, while giving you the necessary flexibility to customize the behavior of the created Azure SDK clients. The use of named clients is particularly convenient for supporting multiple instances of the same Azure resource type. You also get free logging as the Azure SDK events are automatically forwarded to an ILogger instance.

You should be able to do something like these examples, as long as they have the same primary key.

So how do you download part of a blob from Azure? Well, in https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/releases/tag/Azure.Storage.Blobs_12.12.0 there's a function that looks like this:

Now granted these tokens do have some limitations as pointed out in the docs. But based on this answer from an Azure dev on Github: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/18108

The testing helpers have more to it than disabling SSL but are not present on NuGet. So naturally, I raised an issue to the SDK team if they have any plans in that direction. Unfortunately, at this point, they have no interest in releasing their internal test tooling. The techniques I mentioned thus far can be used standalone. I, however, felt this was an excellent opportunity to create my first NuGet Package. The package cannot assume how anybody runs Azurite, so I introduced two classes. You can use AzuriteAccountBuilder to configure how things are run, like the account or the ports being used. The AzuriteAccount class provides access to stuff like the connection string. For convenience the package also creates helper methods to create BlobServiceClient, TableServiceClient or QueueServiceClient form an AzuriteAccount.

This seems either a bug in the Azure SDK or in the Service Bus itself, I'm not the only one that ran into this issue and here you can find additional information.

Q: I can obtain tokens locally using Azure CLI and Azure.Identity library when I run on the host machine, but not when inside Docker container because it doesn't have Azure CLI installed! What do I do? A: This has already been asked about by many people here with various interesting solutions here and here.

Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!
