How to configure a standard StorageV2 account with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)
Below is a step-by-step tutorial on how to configure a standard StorageV2 account with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) and network configurations in Microsoft Azure:
Step 1: Sign in to the Azure Portal
Go to https://portal.azure.com/.
Sign in with your Azure account.
Step 2: Navigate to Storage Accounts
In the Azure portal, click on “Create a resource” in the left sidebar.
Type “Storage account” in the search box and select “Storage account” from the results.

Step 4: Configure Basics
In the “Basics” tab of the wizard, fill in the required fields:
Subscription: Choose your Azure subscription.
Resource group: Create a new one or select an existing one.
Storage account name: Enter a globally unique name for your storage account (lowercase letters and numbers only).

Step 6: Configure Account Kind
Choose “StorageV2” as the account kind. This provides general-purpose storage that supports Blob, File, Table, and Queue storage.
Step 7: Configure Replication
Choose “Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)” for replication. LRS creates multiple copies of your data within the same region.

Step 11: Review and Create
Review the summary of your configuration, and click “Create” if everything looks correct.
Step 12: Deployment
Wait for the deployment to complete. You can monitor the progress in the Azure portal.
Step 13: Accessing the Storage Account
Once the deployment is successful, navigate to the storage account in the Azure portal.
From there, you can manage containers, upload and download files, and configure various settings.
This tutorial covers the basic steps for configuring a standard StorageV2 account with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) and network configurations. Depending on your specific requirements, you might need to adjust settings accordingly. Always refer to the latest Azure documentation for the most accurate information.
