Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName 'subs name' This is the old script which I am using, it does not has the date in the snapshot name feature and uses storage account keys directly in the script, which is not secure. Do let me know how to achieve this.Īlso another major issue I am facing is how to store the snapshot in the storage account without using keys directly in the script. The snapshot name should also contain the date on which it was taken, so that it can be auto deleted after 30 days. Using powershell script, I need to create a snapshot of a VM and save the snapshot in a storage account which is in a different region.
