Start the CloudShell in the Azure portal or go to the following URL: https://shell.azure.com/
Please start with the following steps to begin the deployment (the Hashtags are comments):
#Here you can find out which subscription you are working with
az account show
#View all subscriptions
az account list --all --output table
#change the subscription (if necessary)
az account set --subscription "Name of the Subscription"
#First, create a new resource group
az group create --name storage-resource-group --location westeurope
#If you're not sure which region to specify for the --location parameter, you can retrieve a list of supported regions for your subscription
az account list-locations --query "[].{Region:name}" --out table
#Next, create a general-purpose v2 storage account with read-access geo-redundant storage
az storage account create --name twstacloud2020 --resource-group storage-resource-group --location westeurope --sku Standard_RAGRS --kind StorageV2
| Replication option | sku parameter |
| Locally redundant storage (LRS) | Standard_LRS |
| Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) | Standard_ZRS |
| Geo-redundant storage (GRS) | Standard_GRS |
| Read-access geo-redundant storage (GRS) | Standard_RAGRS |
| Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) | Standard_GZRS |
| Read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS) | Standard_RAGZRS |
Now you have your own Storage Account deployed with the Azure CLI! Congratulations!
If you don't need the resource group (also to save costs) don't forget the clean up.
#Clean Up
az group delete --name storage-resource-group --yes
