Azure 101 – Azure Storage Accounts for Beginners

In this video I go over Azure Storage Accounts. What they are and how to deploy and access one. I start by reviewing the characteristics such as access tiers and different blob types. I then walk through setting one up, create a SAS token for access and use storage explore to upload a blob file.

I googled "local redundant storage" on YouTube because it came up in an assessment question on Pluralsight and I had no idea what it meant. Yours was the first hit. You explained the term and several others in your video, which was just technical enough to make me google the acronyms you assume we all know. I agree you should probably explain the acronyms as you go. But overall this was very helpful and I will recommend your videos.

I love the no-frills/filler approach, Travis gets right to the meat and avoids the almost universal superfluous and overly-broad explanations in favor of actionable information

Hello Travis, this is my first time using Azure Storage Accounts and even when the version you are using is the previuos one, I can tell you have made a great video explaining the basics. Thank you so much and keep it up.

[MrChaospeace]

when this dude says he is contractually obligated for a sub....he means business....unlike the many trolls on youtube that wants nothing more than a few hundred subs with subpar content!

Question: What does it mean if our storage account does not have a "Blob Service" section on the left-hand pane, but says Data Lake storage? I did not create this storage account, but I'm wanting to have Azure AD Logs archive to this storage account. The problem is, it's the ONLY storage account not listed as an option to send logs to. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you need to update this video because the blob option had been collapsed to container.

If I use Azure for a SMB 3 share for several users have I to initiate the connection for each user on each office PC or can I push this someway to certain users from Azure (sort of like a logon batch file or something).

[Layput]

Can you use the explorer like a sync drive?

[amritarora]

[michaeldavidgarcia]

thanks for this but when I tried to upload something I get this error "


Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

Like this video, thank you, Travis, but one piece of suggestion is please use less acronyms in the future, it is a little difficult to learn for newbies, thank you :) :)
