Rotate and Regenerate Access Keys
To rotate keys safely, first update your applications to use Key2. Then, regenerate Key1. Next, update applications to use the new Key1. Finally, regenerate Key2. This sequence ensures continuous access. You can rotate keys via the Azure portal, PowerShell (New-AzStorageAccountKey), or Azure CLI. Only users with specific RBAC permissions, such as the Storage Account Key Operator Service Role, can perform this action.
