Deploy a GitHub Quickstart ARM Template using the Azure Portal

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates provide a powerful way in which to define Azure resources and configuration, by essentially using a text file. This helps with the consistency and automation of resource deployments. In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to locate and leverage one of Microsoft's public quickstart ARM Templates. **Scenario** To help you walk through the lab, consider the following scenario: You work as a cloud administrator for a company that has recently migrated to Azure with the help of a third-party consultancy. You're just beginning to use infrastructure-as-code, and need to build an ARM template for a storage account. You're not sure where to start, so the third-party consultancy recommended using Microsoft's quickstart templates to get up and running. You need to create a General-purpose V2 Storage Account with multiple blob containers. Standard storage is required, with GRS replication configured.
