What it is for
Use it for account inventory and for replication or access tier reporting. Data plane work such as listing or uploading blobs also lives here, once a context object exists to authorize it.
Typical tasks
- List storage accounts with SKU and replication
- Find accounts that allow public blob access
- Enumerate containers and their blobs
- Upload or download blob content
- Check the minimum TLS version per account
- Report quotas on file shares

Compare the module path and version with the session used by your scheduled task or automation account. Use it for account inventory and for replication or access tier reporting. Data plane work such as listing or uploading blobs also lives here, once a context object exists to authorize it.
