When deploying workloads in the cloud you will always need somewhere to store these objects. Storage accounts allow a unique namespace for your data storage needs that is accessible anywhere in the world via HTTP(s). Some benefits of storage accounts is security, scalability, and can be multiple levels of highly available.
I always recommend checking out Microsoft Document page for all the available ways to tweak your deployments.
How to deploy

Create
You need to select your subscription you wish to deploy in
Then you need to create a new or select an existing resource group

Azure offers many ways to protect your data. Choose what best suits your workloads

This process can take 2-5 minutes to deploy so be patient
Complete
Once your resources have been deployed just click the notification and click go to resource
As you can see, the services are now available
Summary:
As you can see if you do proper planning the creation of a storage account for all your intended objects can be quick and simple. As always, I hope y’all found this helpful.
