Static websites on Azure Blob Storage

[mikhailshilkov]

I want to make a sample of Static website hosting in Azure Storage on Pulumi, with CDN, custom domain, etc.

However, it turned out that Terraform doesn't support this feature. And looks like it won't in the nearest future.

Apart from getting rid of terraform, my second-best idea is to use this case to illustrate how Pulumi could allow workarounds for missing features.

This comment suggests a trick in terraform by calling out to az CLI. My other idea is to use an embedded ARM template similar to this example.

What's the "official" guidance for this case? @lukehoban

For one-off missing things, using an embedded ARM template is probably best (assuming it’s supported in ARM).

Next best is using dynamic providers to wrap az CLI invocations.

It appeared I was wrong and ARM doesn't support it either. Took a stab at implementing a dynamic provider, seems to work, see the PR above.
