Hi Folks,
I have a doubt and need assistance to clarify below mentioned with regard to storing/rotating azure storage account keys in Azure Key Vault and grant them for programmatic access / to mount the drive in VM.
Hypothetically, if we are in a requirement to mount azure file share into a windows VM, Can we use key vault key as password and the username from storage account name?
How can we achieve this?

Thank you for your post!When you say - "Can we use key vault key as password and the username from storage account name"
- Are you going to be using the key vault key in some way when mounting the Azure File Share?
- Or is this solely for securing the file share (after mount) with a key from the vault and user name from the storage account?
Any additional information on the scenario would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time. -
