This command helps you to get the connection string for a storage account.

{
  "connectionString": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net;AccountName=usasaupdated;AccountKey=6OtW8Av6W0bkLVrYbM0rz1ltKJLP3Z4eAOsQqT/hLFDkSL+EModOC4UFq99hv6Z6+48IqTR2W0Me+AStBbjrjQ==;BlobEndpoint=https://usasaupdated.blob.core.windows.net/;FileEndpoint=https://usasaupdated.file.core.windows.net/;QueueEndpoint=https://usasaupdated.queue.core.windows.net/;TableEndpoint=https://usasaupdated.table.core.windows.net/"
