Tips: Best Practices for The Other Azure Storage Resources
In addition to the azurerm_storage_account, Azure Storage has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.
azurerm_storage_account
Ensure to use HTTPS connections
It is better to use HTTPS instead of HTTP, which could be vulnerable to person-in-the-middle attacks.
azurerm_storage_account_network_rules
Ensure to allow Trusted Microsoft Services to bypass
It is better to allow Trusted Microsoft Services to bypass. They are not able to access storage account unless rules are set to allow them explicitly.
Azure Resource Manager Example
