Update broken Azure links - #922
Conversation
WalkthroughUpdated Azure documentation links to current Microsoft Learn and Azure service pages. Corrected Azure Compute Gallery role, anchor, and reference details. Revised Azure CPI property links, version references, and Azure Stack Hub terminology. Updated troubleshooting, managed identity, region, account creation, and environment initialization guidance. Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This documentation refresh can cause operators to grant broader Azure storage access than intended and to rely on unsupported unmanaged VM disk sizes. Correct the RBAC characterization and disk-limit references before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Inline comments:
In `@content/azure-compute-gallery.md`:
- Line 22: Update the Storage Account Contributor row to specify only the
storage-account resource scope, replacing the current “Storage
Account/Container” guidance while preserving the existing role, permission, and
VHD context.
In `@content/azure-cpi.md`:
- Line 93: Update the disk-size guidance links in the affected documentation
sentences to point to Azure page-blob overview or limits documentation that
documents the referenced maximum size, replacing the current page-blob pricing
link while preserving the existing text and managed-disk reference.
- Around line 424-429: Update the prose descriptions for domain, authentication,
resource, endpoint_prefix, skip_ssl_validation, and
use_http_to_access_storage_account to consistently say “Azure Stack Hub” instead
of “AzureStack” or “Azure Stack.” Preserve the azure_stack configuration key and
local.azurestack.external DNS value unchanged.
- Line 105: Update the documentation links for the managed-disk type
descriptions associated with type and PremiumV2_LRS to reference Azure managed
disk types documentation instead of the storage-account overview, while
preserving the existing SKU descriptions and guidance.
In `@content/azure-managed-identity.md`:
- Line 3: Update the sentence describing Azure Managed Identities to use the
standard compound adjective “hard-coding” instead of “hard coding,” preserving
the rest of the wording and meaning.

Microsoft Azure built-in Storage Account Contributor role permissions storageAccounts listKeys action
💡 Result:
The built-in Azure role "Storage Account Contributor" (ID: 17d1049b-9a84-46fb-8f53-869881c3d3ab) includes the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/listKeys/action [1][2][3]. This permission allows users assigned to this role to view and regenerate the storage account's access keys [4][5]. Because these keys provide full access to the data within the storage account via Shared Key authorization, the Storage Account Contributor role implicitly grants the ability to access that data [2][4][3]. The inclusion of this action within the role is granted through the wildcard permission Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/*, which is defined in the role's action list [6][2].

Do not describe Storage Account Contributor as a minimal role.
At the storage-account scope, this role grants Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/*, not only Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/listKeys/action. Its key access can authorize access to all storage-account data. Use a custom role with only the CPI's required actions, or document the additional access explicitly.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use VM disk limits for the unmanaged references.
The page-blob target documents page blobs up to 8 TB, but an unmanaged OS or data disk attached to an Azure VM is limited to 4,095 GiB. These lines describe VM-attached disks, so the current link can lead users to choose an unsupported size. Link these references to Azure VM disk limits or FAQ documentation instead.

Several Microsoft/GitHub links were broken. This change replaces them with working ones. It also contains a minor correction regarding RBAC targets of Compute Gallery anchors.
