How to create an Azure Storage Container in the new portal

Here’s how to create an Azure Storage Account Container, assuming you already have an Azure subscription and existing Azure Storage account.

1. Firstly you’ll need a storage account. See this guide for how to create one.
2. Open your storage account by signing into https://portal.azure.com
3. Click Blobs
4. Click Containers in the Blob service blade.
5. Create the new container by clicking ‘+ Container’ then choosing a Name and Access type for it:
6. You can now refer to this container from other services using https://<yourstorageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/<yourcontainername>
   Depending on the Access type you chose, you may need your storage account name and primary key. See the end of this guide for how to retrieve these.
