Functions uses a general-purpose account in Azure Storage to maintain state and other information about your functions. Create a general-purpose storage account in the resource group you created by using the az storage account create command.
In the following command, substitute a globally unique storage account name where you see the <storage_name>
placeholder. Storage account names must be between 3 and 24 characters in length and may contain numbers and lowercase letters only.
az storage account create --name <storage_name> --location westeurope --resource-group myResourceGroup --sku Standard_LRS
After the storage account has been created, the Azure CLI shows information similar to the following example:
{
"creationTime": "2017-04-15T17:14:39.320307+00:00",
"id": "/subscriptions/bbbef702-e769-477b-9f16-bc4d3aa97387/resourceGroups/myresourcegroup/...",
"kind": "Storage",
"location": "westeurope",
"name": "myfunctionappstorage",
"primaryEndpoints": {
"blob": "https://myfunctionappstorage.blob.core.windows.net/",
"file": "https://myfunctionappstorage.file.core.windows.net/",
"queue": "https://myfunctionappstorage.queue.core.windows.net/",
"table": "https://myfunctionappstorage.table.core.windows.net/"
