Fixing Azure CLI Storage Account Whitelisting Error: ‘IPs does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 network

This blog explains an error that occurs when whitelisting IPs on a storage account using an Azure CLI script. The script attempts to pass the IPs as a space-separated string and apply them through the CLI. However, it fails with an error indicating that the IP format is incorrect. This post explains the issue and provides the steps to fix it.

Pre-requites:

• Azure Storage account
• The $ipList parameter accepts a semicolon-separated list of IP addresses

Promote Azure Snapshot with Azure CLI

Azure Storage account blobs facilitate versioning through two mechanisms, blob versioning and blob snapshots. Blob versioning creates a new version with each edit, while blob snapshots allow you to take a snapshot of the current blob and make changes to it. Both mechanisms enable users to revert to a previous version or a created snapshot if needed and recover the data.

This blog explains how to revert to a blob snapshot using an automated script.
