ARM Template User-defined Functions: Build a Storage Account Connection String

When working with ARM Templates, chances are you have set a value that was a Storage Account Connection String. For example as the value of an appsetting, or as a secret in Azure Key Vault, which I did as an example in a previous blog post.

However, this does not result in the most maintainable and readable piece of JSON. Even worse if you have multiple connection strings in the same template.

In this article I will show that adding a User-Defined Function to our template can improve on this.

This weekend I was speaking at WordCamp Nijmegen about the possibilities of hosting a WordPress site using Microsoft Azure.

Even though I expected to get some criticism for dropping the Microsoft name at such an event, I felt very welcome. I experienced the event as a large group of very warm people from all over the world that are coming together to help each other out. And like Microsoft nowadays, they set a high standard with their code of conduct (in English).
