Creating a Microsoft Azure Storage account and
container
To use Microsoft Azure Storage for your SQL Server database, an account and a blob
storage container will need to be created. Because you have already created your
Microsoft Azure Account, you will now need to create a storage container for the
databases' data files.
From the management portal, select the STORAGE option from the left-hand menu,
which is shown in the following screenshot:
Click on the New button at the bottom of the screen and run through the wizard.
The most important thing to note here is that you need to disable geo-replication.
When geo-replication is set, the write order is not guaranteed, and this can lead to
database corruption. Geo-replication allows you to keep multiple durable copies of
data across different sites, but how the technology writes data to disk does not lend
itself to how SQL Server will write data to the disk. Therefore, when using Microsoft
Azure Storage for your database, you will not be able to use this option.
