Provisioning an Azure storage account using the Azure portal

In this recipe, we will provision an Azure storage account using the Azure portal. Azure Blob storage is one of the four storage services available in Azure Storage. The other storage services are Table, Queue, and File Share. Table storage is used to store non-relational structured data as key-value pairs, queue storage is used to store messages as queues, and file share is used for creating file share directories/mount points that can be accessed using the NFS/SMB protocols. This chapter will focus on storing data using the Blob storage service.

Getting ready

Before you start, open a web browser and go to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com. Ensure that you have an Azure subscription. Install Azure PowerShell on your machine; instructions for installing it can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-az-ps?view=azps-6.6.00.
