storage account creation

  1. To Create this azure storage account we need to authenticate ourselves first on the azure cli.
az login
  • other commands
az account show

sometimes it could be difficult to authenticate to the az cli. it might not show the account sessions that are logged in your browser. So, you have to add Windows Hello passkey (the microsoft account) in your Settings>Accounts>Passkeys if you are trying to login in Windows os.

  • use the command:
az login --use-device-code
  • sample output:
To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code NE******5L to authenticate.
