The next step is to set up a storage account in which we can store the images that are uploaded by the users. To create such an account, proceed as follows:
- Create a new Storage Account resource. Storage Account is found under the Storage category.
- Select a subscription and a resource group. We recommend that you use the same as you did for the SignalR Service.
- Give the storage account a name.
- Select a location that is close to your users.
- Select a performance option. If we use Premium storage, the data will be stored on solid-state drive (SSD) disks. Select Standard storage for this project.
- Use StorageV2 for the Account kind field.
- In the Replication field, we can select how we want our data to be replicated across the data centers.
- For the Access tier, we will use Hot, becuse we will need to access the data frequently in this app.
- Click Review + create to review the settings before creating the storage account.
- Click Create to create...
