Azure Cloud shell requires storage account

We have a Azure subscription, one of my colleague's azure user account is working fine. He has created Registry as well as he has deployed a hello world image in it using azure cli.

But when i click on Azure Cloud shell, it prompts for resource group and storage account. even after selecting existing resource group and storage account that my colleague has created, there is one more mandatory field file share.

Whats the importance of it and can we give any name to it? is that also chargeable?

Solution

  • Whats the importance of it and can we give any name to it? is that also chargeable?

    You should create Azure file share, and it is chargeable.

    You can find the request in the last line, like this:

    enter image description here

    In the last line, we can find the cloud shell requirement, we should create a storage account in that location same as your resource group(In my test require to create a storage account in Central India), and the storage account should be LRS or GRS.

    Here a similar case as you, please refer to it.

    Note:

    We can't select existing file share in the configure page, need to manually enter the name.
