Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions: Exam Guide 70-535

Creating a storage account

Before you can upload any data or files to Azure Storage, a storage account needs to be created. This can be done using the Azure Portal, PowerShell, CLI, or Visual Studio.

In this demo, we are going to create a storage account with PowerShell:

Login-AzureRmAccount

If necessary, select the right subscription:

Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId "********-****-****-****-***********"

Create a resource group:

New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name PacktPubStorage -Location WestEurope

Create the storage account:

New-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName PacktPubStorage -AccountName packtpubstorage -Location WestEurope -SkuName "Standard_GRS"
