Create Storage Account¶
Define parameters for consistent storage account creation.
| Parameter | Options | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Name | 3-24 characters | Lowercase letters and numbers only. |
| Region | Location | Proximity to users and services. |
| Performance | Standard, Premium | Standard for general; Premium for low latency. |
| Redundancy | LRS, ZRS, GRS/RA-GRS, GZRS/RA-GZRS (depending on account type) | Trade off cost, availability, and geo-replication. |
| Access Tier | Hot, Cool, Cold | Optimization for data access frequency. |
Note
Naming restrictions require 3-24 characters, lowercase letters, and numbers. Names must be globally unique across Azure.
