Azure storage configuration

This article explains how to configure a storage account and blob storage in Azure.

Creating a storage account

1

Navigate to the Create a resource section in the top-left corner of the Azure Portal.

2

In the search bar, type storage account and select Create from the results.

3

On the configuration page, complete the required fields: choose your subscription, select or create a resource group, and enter a unique name for the storage account that meets the global uniqueness requirement.

4

Select the region for the storage account, choose the performance tier (Standard or Premium), and specify the redundancy option, such as Locally-redundant storage (LRS) or Geo-redundant storage (GRS), according to your data redundancy needs.

5

Next, configure the networking options— choose whether the storage account will be accessible via the public internet, a private virtual network, or both.

6

In the Advanced tab, configure additional options such as data access and encryption. If needed, add tags in the Tags tab to meet management requirements (if you have any).

7

After configuring all settings, review your selections and click Create to finalize the creation of your storage account.


Creating a blob storage container

1

After creating the storage account, create a blob storage container— navigate to the storage account and select Containers from the side menu.

2

Click + Container to add a new container, enter a name, and select the appropriate access level (Private, Blob, or Container).

3

Click Create to set up the container.
