Azure Resource Groups
In Azure, resource groups are logical containers that contain connected Azure resources. They provide more efficient resource management and organization. This is how they work:
Organization: Resources such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and databases can be grouped together to make management easier.
Deployment: Resources inside a resource group can be deployed, updated, and deleted as a group. This streamlines resource and lifecycle management.
Access Control: Resource groups allow you to control user or application permissions using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Cost management: Logically organizing resources can help with cost tracking and management as well as budgeting and analysis.
Resource management is made easier by classifying resources according to their intended use or environment (development, staging, production, etc.).

Azure Cloud Storage
Azure Cloud Storage offers scalable, secure cloud storage options. It provides numerous storage services, including:

Blob storage is ideal for storing massive amounts of unstructured data, such as text and binary files. It has three categories (hot, cool, and archive) that minimize costs based on data access frequency.

File Storage: Provides fully managed file shares in the cloud that may be accessed using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Useful for scenarios requiring file-sharing capability.
Queue Storage: Offers a messaging repository for dependable communication between application components. It allows you to disconnect and scale application components.
Table Storage: A NoSQL store for semi-structured data with a schema-free design for applications that require fast and flexible data access.
Disk Storage: Offers persistent storage for Azure Virtual Machines, including regular and premium SSD options.

In conclusion, resource groups make it easier to arrange and manage Azure resources, while Azure Cloud Storage provides a range of choices for cloud data storage and management. Please feel free to ask any specific questions you may have or for further information on how to use or handle these!

Step 1: Create a resource group and a storage account

1.Create and deploy a resource group to hold all your project resources.
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 Review and Create to validate the resource group.

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.

Step 2: Configure simple settings in the storage account.

1.The data in this storage account doesn’t require high availability or durability. A lowest cost storage solution is desired.
In your storage account, in the Data management section, select the Redundancy blade.
Select locally redundant storage(LRS) in the Redundancy drop-down.
Be sure to save your changes.
