   • Name: pslabhtgswa<INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBERS>
   • Region: same as your resource group
   • Performance: Standard
   • Redundancy: Locally-redundant storage (LRS)

   If you prefer, you can deploy via the Azure Cloud Shell using one of the following command line syntax (replace <INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBERS> with random numbers so the name is unique).

   Az CLI az storage account create --name pslabhtgswa<INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBERS> --resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> --location [location] --sku Standard_LRS --encryption-services blob

   Azure PowerShell New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name pslabhtgswa<INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBERS> -Location $location -SkuName Standard_LRS -Kind StorageV2
