Explanation in Terraform Registry

Manages a NFS Target within a HPC Cache.

NOTE:: By request of the service team the provider no longer automatically registering the Microsoft.StorageCache Resource Provider for this resource. To register it you can run az provider register --namespace 'Microsoft.StorageCache'.

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.
