What is Azure Storage?
Azure storage is Microsoft's cloud storage solution. It allows storage of unstructured data, pdfs, file shares etc.
The following steps in this article outlines how I was able to create storage for the department's testing and training.
Create a resource group and a storage account
- In the Azure portal, search for and select Resource groups
- Select + Create
- Give your resource group a name. For example, storagerg
- Select a region. Use this region throughout the project
- Select Create to deploy the resource group
Create and deploy a storage account to support testing and training
- In the Azure portal, search for and select Storage accounts
- Select + Create
- On the Basics tab, select your Resource group
- Provide a Storage account name. The storage account name must be unique in Azure.
- Set the Performance to Standard
- Select Review, and then Create
- Wait for the storage account to deploy and then Go to resource
Configure simple settings in the storage account
- In your storage account, in the Data management section, select the Redundancy blade.
- Select Locally-redundant storage (LRS) in the Redundancy drop-down
The storage account should only accept requests from secure connections
- In the Settings section, select the Configuration blade
- Ensure Secure transfer required is Enabled
Developers would like the storage account to use at least TLS version 1.2
- In the Settings section, select the Configuration blade
- Ensure the Minimal TLS version is set to Version 1.2.
Ensure the storage account allows public access from all networks.
- In the Security + networking section, select the Networking blade
- Ensure Public network access is set to Enabled from all networks.
-Be sure to Save your changes.
