Overview of this book

Go is the go-to language for DevOps libraries and services, and without it, achieving fast and safe automation is a challenge. With the help of Go for DevOps, you'll learn how to deliver services with ease and safety, becoming a better DevOps engineer in the process. Some of the key things this book will teach you are how to write Go software to automate configuration management, update remote machines, author custom automation in GitHub Actions, and interact with Kubernetes. As you advance through the chapters, you'll explore how to automate the cloud using software development kits (SDKs), extend HashiCorp's Terraform and Packer using Go, develop your own DevOps services with gRPC and REST, design system agents, and build robust workflow systems. By the end of this Go for DevOps book, you'll understand how to apply development principles to automate operations and provide operational insights using Go, which will allow you to react quickly to resolve system failures before your customers realize something has gone wrong.

Using provisioned Azure infrastructure

In the previous section, we built a stack of computing and networking infrastructure to illustrate how to manipulate cloud infrastructure. In this section, we will pair a provisioning infrastructure with the Azure control plane and use the infrastructure through the provisioned service's data plane.

In this section, we are going to build a cloud storage infrastructure. We will use Azure Storage to store files and provide constrained access to those files via shared access signatures (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-sas-overview). We will learn how to use ARM to fetch account keys and use those keys to provide constrained access to storage resources.

Building an Azure Storage account

Let's get started by running the example, and then we'll delve into the code for building the infrastructure and using the provisioned storage account. To execute the example, run the following:

$ go run ./cmd...
