To add a storage account and then create a blob container in the Azure portal:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Search for Storage accounts and select it.
  3. Select + Create.
  4. On Create a storage account, set:
    • Subscription: select the subscription to use.
    • Resource group: select an existing group or create a new one.
    • Storage account name: enter a unique name. It must be 3 to 24 characters and use lowercase letters and numbers only.
    • Region: select a region.
    • Performance: Standard.
    • Redundancy: leave the default unless a different option is needed.
  5. Select Review + Create, then Create.
  6. After deployment finishes, open the new storage account.
  7. In the storage account menu, under Data storage, select Containers.
  8. Select + Container.
  9. Enter a container name. The name must be lowercase, start with a letter or number, can include letters, numbers, and hyphens, and must be 3 to 63 characters long.
  10. Set Anonymous access level or Public access level. The recommended/default setting is Private (no anonymous access).
  11. Select Create.

If Data storage is not visible, search for Containers directly in the storage account, because the portal layout can vary.
