Find out the resource group of the storage account of cloud shell-CodePudding

So I know that there is a storage account behind Azure Cloud Shell. How can I find out which storage account it is and most important which resource group is my Cloud Shell storage account belongs to?

CodePudding user response：

When you use basic settings and select only a subscription, Cloud Shell creates three resources on your behalf in the supported region that's nearest to you:

Resource group: cloud-shell-storage-[region]
Storage account: cs[uniqueGuid]
File share: cs-[user]-[domain]-com-[uniqueGuid]

Storage accounts that you create in Cloud Shell are tagged with ms-resource-usage:azure-cloud-shell.

CodePudding user response：

Based on the above shared Requirement, we have created the below PowerShell script which will pull the cloud shell storage accounts & their respective resource groups.

We have tested the below script in our local environment which is working fine.

Here is the PowerShell Script :

Connect-AzAccount

$strglist=Get-AzStorageAccount ##pulling the storageaccounts in that particular subscription that you have connected to.

foreach( $item in $strglist){

    if( ($item.StorageAccountName -like 'cs*') -and  ($item.ResourceGroupName -like 'cloud-shell-storage*'))
    {
        Write-Host $item.StorageAccountName,$item.ResourceGroupName
    }
}

Note :

All the cloud Shell storage accounts will have name start with 'cs' & respective resource groups will be with 'cloud-shell-storage' so we have used the -like operator & wildcards to pull the list of storage accounts.

Here is the sample output for reference:
