Storage account access and resilience checks

Problem

You need a quick, safe way to work with storage without guessing the current state.

Solution

Start with the smallest verification command, confirm scope, and document what you saw before changing anything.

Command Or Example

az storage account show --name <STORAGE_ACCOUNT> --resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP>

Explanation

This pattern keeps the first change reversible and makes troubleshooting easier for storage.

When To Use

Use it before production changes, troubleshooting sessions, or when you need a quick sanity check.

Common Mistake

Skipping scope validation and assuming the portal or CLI is pointing at the right resource.
