Creating Azure Storage Accounts

Azure offers a variety of storage-related products that can help you solve a wide range of problems. All of these storage products have one thing in common: they require and are organized under storage accounts. As such, the first step in implementing nearly any storage solution in Azure is to create a storage account. In this lab, you will have the opportunity to practice the task of creating storage accounts. You are provided with a set of basic criteria, and you are asked to create two storage accounts that are configured to meet those criteria. After completing this lab, you will be familiar with the process of creating storage accounts in the Azure portal, and you will be ready to proceed to more complex topics.
