12. Storage: How do we keep secrets secret? Proxy the requests Client sends data to web role Web role sends data to storage (1) (2) Web Role

13. Storage: Using Shared Access Signatures Client makes request of Web Role for SAS Web Role sends client SAS Client makes Read Request or Writes direct Client gets response (1) (3) Web Role (2) (4)
