Azure Blob Storage is the place where youĀ can store everything.
- Your files
- Images
- Videos
- Audio
Anything 1 and 0. Although you will not do that with the experience you get with the seasoning, keep in mind that the blob storage can do that.
Before going to create the blob,

Blob storage is one of the services provided by the Azure storage accounts.
- Files
- Blobs
- Tables
- Queues
Therefore, in order to create a Blob, we have to create a storage account first.
Creating a Storage account is a straightforward thing. Search for the āStorage Accountā in the Azure portal and select the highlighted one, ā not the classic one.
š Then click on Create.
š The portal will redirect you to the Storage account creation page. It will look like this.
š The next step is filling above inputs. Select the Azure subscription you have. In my case, itās the āAzure for studentsā subscription.
š Select the Resource group we created in the previous episode.
š Give a meaningful name to your Storage account. It may be like āstoragestudentsā.
Keep in mind that the field can containĀ only lowercase letters and numbers. The name must be between 3 and 24 characters.
š Select the region. (Again donāt worry too much about the region. We will master them in future episodes).
1. Storage accounts will cost you per month and usage.
2. The cost will also vary with the region we use.
3. We will delete this storage account after using it for now.
š Keep all the other details as default and go to the Advance tab.
š Put a tick on āAllow enabling anonymous access on individual containersā.
š Hit āReview + Createā.
š Hit āCreateā.
Tada! You have created your first-ever Storage account in Azure. Now itās time to create theĀ Blob Storage.
Now you have done with the basic steps, letās go straight to create the Blob Storage. Click the āGo to Resourceā button to navigate to the created Storage account.
Inside the created Storage account, you will have the option to choose between Files, Blobs, Queues, and Tables.
š Letās go with Blob Service. You can also see this in the sidebar as āContainersā (I donāt know why the hell they named the same service by two names).
But they both are the same. Click it.
On the next page, click on the Container.
š Give a proper and meaningful name as I say always.
š Choose the āBlob (anonymous read access for blobs only).
š Hit āCreateā.
Congratulations, You have completed creating aĀ Blob Storage!Ā You are one step closer to mastering Azure Fundamentals.
Although we created the Storage account and Blob Storage, itās better to remove it as soon as possible because it will cost your subscription. So, you can continue practicing Azure without any cost concerns.
Since the blob storage is inside the storage account, you can delete both resources by simply deleting the Storage account.
š Go to the Storage account and click on āDeleteā
š If you canāt find it, go to Home and then choose the:
Resource Group ā Storage Account.
But what if you got this messageš§And now it will cost you.
You will find the solution in āĀ Azure Resource Locks
