First we need to create a ResourceGroup or select an existing ResourceGroup. In this case we will use ResourceGroup created in previous lesson.

Check whether the account name is valid and is not in use

Important: The name of the storage account must be unique in Azure. It must be lowercase, too!

azure storage account check teststorageft

azure storage account check teststorageft -v

azure storage account check teststorageft -vv

azure storage account check teststorageft --json

####Create a Storage Account

• SKU name (LRS/ZRS/GRS/RAGRS/PLRS)
• the account kind (Storage/BlobStorage)

azure storage account create <> --sku-name <> --kind --tags --location --resource-group --subscription

List storage account keys

azure storage account keys list testuploadedstorage --resource-group TestRGcli

Create a storage container

azure storage container create --account-name testuploadedstorage --account-key --container vm-images

Tips : The -v parameter provides verbose output, and the -vv parameter provides even more detailed verbose output. The --json option will output the result in raw json format.
