Hi,
how to set backend to azure blob without using cli, is that possible ?
We are using service principal and have defined custom provider and we are looking to have something in pulumi as in terraform regarding defining backend.
We would like to have backend defined in yaml without need to use cli in workflows.

Yes, you should just need to set the `PULUMI_BACKEND_URL` environment variable to `<azblob://StorageAccountName>`, then set `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT` to `BlobContainerName`; and the `AZURE_STORAGE_KEY` and `PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE` variables as well

I'm using the automation API + MSI, no cli at all :slightly_smiling_face:

is it possible to use rbac not storage key for access to storage account?
