I’ve previously written about how to return an image from an Azure Function which deals with returning a generated image from the function, however it’s also useful to return images which might be stored elsewhere such as in Azure Blob Storage or an AWS S3 bucket. I’ve created an example Read more…
I was previously hosting this site on a WebApp instance in Azure but partly due to cost reasons I decided to migrate it over to AWS. There’s a variety of guides available to help with parts of this but nothing that covers the full process so I figured I’d try Read more…
I’ve previously posted about how to add Azure Table Storage clients via dependency injection for which I created my own extension methods using SAS tokens as MSI authentication wasn’t available.

Extension methods for adding a BlobServiceClient are provided by Microsoft as previously mentioned, however there’s no equivlent for adding access for Table (or Cosmos DB) storage.
