How powershell calls the azure API while uploading/downloading data to & from storage

Question

When I'm using the azure powershell, I just give the storage account name and the key. Does anyone know how internally the powershell calls the Azure APIs.

And I also have a question that how secure is the data transferred through powershell. If yes, what is the concept underneath it. And if no, how can I secure the transferring pipeline.

Answer 1

Afaik Azure PowerShell uses Azure REST APIs under the hood.

The upload of vhd is secure by default. You can't specify additional security objects during upload that i know of.

On the other hand you can always encrypt the data inside vhd that you are uploading, as an additional security measure.
