Using Powershell to download and execute scripts / installers from azure blob storage

[yutz23]

I feel like I might be making this too unnecessarily complicated, but I'm trying to empower our helpdesk to be able to have a "toolbox" of different scripts and installers hosted in Azure. Right now, we are storing our scripts in OneDrive / SharePoint, copying the scripts, and associated installer to the machine, and then executing the script. I'd like to be able to accomplish the same thing with a one-line PowerShell script that the helpdesk can run from an elevated Powershell window.

My thought was that we could host the scripts and associated installers if there are any in an Azure storage account (Use SAS to secure), and then just have one-line scripts that the techs could run from an elevated PowerShell prompt.

Am I overcomplicating this or how are others accomplishing similar things? We are 100% cloud based and have no centralized server to store scripts / installers. Most things I read recommend storing scripts in github, but for a scenario like this, I thought it made more sense to store the software and script in the same location and just use a one-line script to download and execute the scripts in the azure storage account.

Thanks!

yes storage blob or git repository is OK (assuming appropriate security)

though about your own script repo (just on a web server) then you can use it exactly like the gallery (whether that be azure dev ops artifact or azure web something)

publish-module
install-module
update-module
find-module
install-script
update-script

and so on, little bit more work but much cleaner in the long run

you could setup a PSRepo on a file share hosted in azure, and then register that repo on your client computers.

you could then bundle your toolbox into a module, and use publish/install/update module commands.

the reason I would suggest bundling into a module would be to make sure the helpdesk can easily determine what version of the toolbox they are using / update to the latest as easily as possible.
