Create an Azure storage account using Cloud Shell

I am starting a new project and need to create a storage account in Azure. For simplicity sake, I like to use the Cloud Shell embedded in the Azure portal.

Create a resource group. This is just a logical container for Azure resources.

az group create -n testrg -l westus

-n, — name: the name of the resource group

-l, — location: the Azure region for the resource group

Create a new storage account.

-n, — name: the name of the storage account (this must be globally unique!)

-g, — group: the name of the target resource group that will contain the storage account

-l, — location: the location of the storage account (this doesn’t have to be the same as the resource group, but it helps to organize resources in similar regions)

Create a storage container.

az storage container create -n uploads — account-name testsa

-n, — name: the name of the container (you need a container to hold blobs)

Retrieve your storage account key.

az storage account keys list -n testsa
