On this ariticl, am going to be explaining a step-by-step process on how to provide storage for the IT department testing and training.
1, Create and deploy a resource group to hold all your project resources
-Firstly, create a resource group to hold all project resources and to do this, you have to login to your Azure portal using your email and click next.
-After you must have signed into your Azure portal, select +Create
–Give the resource group a name, ensure the name is unique eg storagerg
Now the next step is to select a region and ensure you can remember the region as you will be using it throughout the project
After that, Select Review and create to validate the resource group
Select Create to deploy the resource group
Successfully created
2, Create and deploy a storage account to support testing and training
In the Azure portal, search for and select Storage accounts
–Select + Create.
On the Basics tab, select your Resource group
-Provide a Storage account name. The storage account name must be unique in Azure. Set the performance to standard and lastly, review and create
Wait for deployment to complete then go to resource
Once deployment is complete, click on ‘go to resources’
2, Configure simple settings in the storage account.
-The data in this storage account doesn’t require high availability or durability
In your storage account, in the Data management section, select the Redundancy blade.
Select** Locally-redundant storage (LRS) in the Redundancy drop-down and **save
The storage account should only accept requests from secure connections.In the Settings section, select the Configuration blade and enable Secure transfer required
Developers would like the storage account to use at least TLS version 1.2
Go to Settings section, select the Configuration blade.
Ensure the Minimal TLS version is set to Version 1.2.
Until the storage is needed again, disable requests to the storage account
In the Settings section, select the Configuration blade.
Ensure Allow storage account key access is Disabled and then** save**.
Ensure the storage account allows public access from all networks
In the Security + networking section, select the Networking blade.
Ensure Public network access is set to Enabled from all networks and save.
If you have followed this steps, then you have successfully learnt how to provide storage for the IT department testing and training.
