Scenario

Our CloudySolutions company has taken on some new customers, and one of them has a new Windows Server Core VM deployed that they want their Azure infrastructure to be deployed from. You will first log in to the Azure portal. After that, you will remote desktop into the virtual machine, install the necessary tools, connect the tools to Azure (authenticate), and deploy your storage account.

Deploy a storage account with the following settings:

Storage account name: (the name must be globally unique): acglearn<RANDOM_NUMBERS><RANDOM_WORD>
Region: Use the default location
Performance: Standard
Redundancy: Locally redundant storage (LRS)

Leave all other settings on their defaults.
