Azure Storage account failover using Azure devops

Question

Is there any workaround to do Storage failover using CICD pipeline? Below links talk about installing preview version. I tried to put 1.1.1-preview in preferred version on Azure powershell task but doesn't work

Solution:

I added all powershell commands on this link and it worked through CICD https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-initiate-account-failover?tabs=azure-powershell

I tried to put 1.1.1-preview in preferred version on Azure powershell task but doesn't work

The 1.1.1-preview is one version of Az.Storage module, instead of version of Azure Powershell .

So if you set 1.1.1-preview as Preferred Azure PowerShell Version , the Azure Powershell task can't recognize this version and the error will be thrown:

[error]The Azure PowerShell version '1.1.1.preview' specified is not in the correct format.

So I suggest using Azure CLI task (Inline Script mode) with content below:

az storage account show \ --name accountName \ --expand geoReplicationStats
az storage account failover \ --name accountName
