How Azure is organised
Read this first if the Azure Portal is new to you. Azure organises everything into a tree, and it trips up newcomers because each level has its own name and its own create button.
Tenant → Subscription → Resource Group → Resource- Tenant - your Azure AD / Entra organisation. You get one automatically.
- Subscription - the billing boundary. Your free trial or paid plan lives here.
- Resource Group - a folder for resources you manage and bill together.
- Resource - the actual thing, in our case a storage account.
You will create one resource group and one storage account. Everything else already exists.
Inside the storage account you then create a container, which is the folder that holds your files. A container is the Azure equivalent of an S3 bucket.
