To create a storage account in Azure using ARM templates, you can use the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template deployment feature in the Azure portal. The process includes the following steps:
- Create an ARM template in JSON format that defines the storage account resource you want to create. You can use an existing template from Azure Quickstart Templates as a starting point, or create your own from scratch.
- Here is an example of an ARM template in JSON format that creates a storage account resource:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"storageAccountName": {
"type": "string",
"metadata": {
"description": "The name of the storage account to create."
}
},
"storageAccountType": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "Standard_LRS",
"allowedValues": [
"Standard_LRS",
"Standard_GRS",
"Standard_RAGRS",
"Standard_ZRS",
"Premium_LRS"
],
"metadata": {
"description": "The type of replication for the storage account."
}
},
"location": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"metadata": {
"description": "The location where the storage account will be created."
}
}
},
"variables": {
"storageAccountId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageAccountName'))]"
},
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts",
"name": "[parameters('storageAccountName')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"apiVersion": "2019-06-01",
"sku": {
"name": "[parameters('storageAccountType')]"
},
"kind": "StorageV2",
"properties": {}
}
],
"outputs": {
"storageAccountId": {
"type": "string",
"value": "[variables('storageAccountId')]"
}
}
}
- In the Azure portal, navigate to the “Resource groups” menu and select the resource group that you want to deploy the storage account to.
- Click the “+ Deploy a new resource” button, and select “Template deployment”
- In the “Basics” tab, select “Build your own template in the editor” and paste in the JSON code for your ARM template.
- In the “Review + create” tab, review the details of your deployment, and then click the “Deploy” button to deploy the storage account using the ARM template.
- Once the deployment is complete, you can navigate to the “Storage accounts” menu in the Azure portal to verify that the storage account has been created and is in a “Running” state.
It’s also possible to deploy ARM Templates through Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell, both options allow for automating the deployment process.
