Introduction

In this article, I will guide you step-by-step on how to create resource groups and cloud storage accounts.

Microsoft Azure offers a wide array of services to help organizations manage their IT infrastructure. Among these, Storage Accounts and Resource Groups are fundamental components. Grasping these elements is crucial for effectively organizing and managing your Azure resources.

Resource Groups
In Azure, a resource group is a container for linked resources used in an Azure solution. Virtual computers, databases, and storage accounts are a few examples of these resources. Managing and organizing resources that have a shared lifecycle is a resource group's main goal.

Storage Accounts
Azure Storage Accounts give your data its namespace. It is a key component of Azure data storage and works with blobs, files, queues, tables, and other forms of data storage. Here are some essential details regarding storage accounts.

Steps to creating a resource group and a storage account.

Log in to your Azure account, search for "Resource groups" then click on it.

Step 2
