Change the replication type of an Azure storage account
Last year I wrote a blog post about migrating an Azure storage account from LRS to ZRS replication. -> https://www.danielstechblog.io/migrate-an-azure-storage-account-from-lrs-to-zrs-replication-without-downtime/ Back then, this procedure required the involvement of Azure support via a support ticket.

Taking backups from Azure Disks attached to AKS via Azure Automation
When you followed the Azure docs on how to dynamically create Azure Disks via a Kubernetes PVC, you saw the instructions to create a backup of the disk. Snapshots are leveraged for this. But it is a manual task you must accomplish. -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/azure-disks-dynamic-pv#back-up-a-persistent-volume It would be nice to have an automated solution which also…
