Breaking change with Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey in AzureRM.Storage v1.1.0 - AzureRM v1.4.0
A nasty breaking change has slipped into version 1.1.0 of AzureRM.Storage which coincide with the release v1.4.0 of AzureRM module. If you use the return object of the Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey
command you are impacted.
This is because the object that was coming out of Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey was Microsoft.Azure.Management.Storage.Models.StorageAccountKeys
and it is now a list of Microsoft.Azure.Management.Storage.Models.StorageAccountKey
objects.
The old output
In your code you probably have a code like this... You get the storage account keys to then create a storage context.
$keys = Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $StorageAccountName
$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $keys.Key1
Before, each key was stored as a string in Key1
and Key2
properties.
- $keys.Key1
- $keys.Key2
The new output
The new type is a List<Microsoft.Azure.Management.Storage.Models.StorageAccountKey>
. Each object in the list has 3 members: KeyName
, Value
& Permissions
.
To get the keys you now need to do this:
- $keys[0].Value
- $keys[1].Value
Anothe, simplier way to obtain an AzureStorageContext
If you need to get the keys only to create an Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext
object you can use the .Context
member of a Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Management.Storage.Models.PSStorageAccount
object like this:
$storage = Get-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $StorageAccountName
$storage.Context
Conclusion
This is a breaking change and should not have ended up in a minor version upgrade like it did. Microsoft need to be more cautious and build checks to prevent this from happening again. This will impact a LOT of scripts out there.
