Deployment Account Key
The Storage Access Key to use when accessing Blob Storage for linked ARM template deployment.
The key is used in the generated adf-deploy.<DataFactory>.linkedTemplates.ps1 script to create the storage context (New-AzStorageContext) that uploads the linked template files to the deployment container. When the setting is left blank, the script contains a <YourDeploymentStorageAccountKey> placeholder to fill in before running it.
When to Change This Setting
Set this when deploying a Data Factory through linked ARM templates and you want the generated deployment script to be runnable without manual edits. Consider leaving production keys out of the metadata and filling in the placeholder at deployment time instead.
