Create a resource group

Create an Azure resource group with the az group create command. A resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed.

az group create \
    --name myResourceGroup \
    --location eastus

Create a storage account

Create a general-purpose storage account with the az storage account create command. The general-purpose storage account can be used for all four services: blobs, files, tables, and queues.

az storage account create \
    --name mystorageaccount \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --location eastus \
    --sku Standard_LRS \
    --encryption blob

Specify storage account credentials

The Azure CLI needs your storage account credentials for most of the commands in this tutorial. While there are several options for doing so, one of the easiest ways to provide them is to set AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT and AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

First, display your storage account keys by using the az storage account keys list command:

az storage account keys list \
    --account-name mystorageaccount \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --output table

Now, set the AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT and AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY environment variables. You can do this in the Bash shell by using the export command:

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT="mystorageaccountname"
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY="myStorageAccountKey"
