Create an Azure storage account container

Learn how to create a container in your Azure account.

Before you create a storage container, you need to have created an Azure storage queue. For details, see topic Create an Azure storage account queue.
An Azure storage account container delegates authentication responsibility for external cloud storage to an Azure service principal (an identity for Databricks Delta Lake to access Azure resources). Create a Staging container to store your Reltio data in the Azure cloud and a Target container to store your Databricks data.
To create an Azure storage container:
  1. In the Microsoft Azure portal, search for and select Storage accounts.
  2. On the Storage accounts page, select the storage account you previously created. For details, see topic Create an Azure storage account.
  3. In the storage account Overview page, from the left navigation panel, scroll down to the Data storage section and select Containers.
  4. In the Containers page, select the + Container button.
  5. In the New container panel, complete these fields:
    • Name: Enter a name for this container, following the displayed naming convention.

      Tip: Take note of this value. You'll need it when you Create an Azure event grid subscription.
    • Anonymous access level: Leave this field set to Private:( no anonymous access).

    • Advanced: Leave these at their default settings.

  6. Select Create. When the deployment message clears, your new container is displayed in the list.
For general information, see topic Create a container in the Microsoft Azure documentation.
