create_storage_account function

Create Azure storage account

Method for the AzureRMR::az_resource_group class.

Usage

create_storage_account(name, location, kind = "StorageV2", replication = "Standard_LRS",
                  access_tier = "hot"), https_only = TRUE,
                  hierarchical_namespace_enabled = TRUE, properties = list(), ...)

Arguments

• name: The name of the storage account.
• location: The location/region in which to create the account. Defaults to the resource group location.
• kind: The type of account, either "StorageV2" (the default), "FileStorage" or "BlobStorage".
• replication: The replication strategy for the account. The default is locally-redundant storage (LRS).
• access_tier: The access tier, either "hot" or "cool", for blobs.
• https_only: Whether a HTTPS connection is required to access the storage.
• hierarchical_namespace_enabled: Whether to enable hierarchical namespaces, which are a feature of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 and provide more a efficient way to manage storage. See 'Details' below.
• properties: A list of other properties for the storage account.
• ... Other named arguments to pass to the az_storage initialization function.

Details

This method deploys a new storage account resource, with parameters given by the arguments. A storage account can host multiple types of storage:

• blob storage
• file storage
• table storage
• queue storage
• Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2

Accounts created with kind = "BlobStorage" can only host blob storage, while those with kind = "FileStorage" can only host file storage. Accounts with kind = "StorageV2" can host all types of storage. AzureStor provides an R interface to ADLSgen2, blob and file storage, while the AzureQstor and AzureTableStor packages provide interfaces to queue and table storage respectively.

Value

An object of class az_storage representing the created storage account.

Examples

rg <- AzureRMR::az_rm$
    new(tenant="myaadtenant.onmicrosoft.com", app="app_id", password="password")$
    get_subscription("subscription_id")$
    get_resource_group("rgname")

# create a new storage account
rg$create_storage_account("mystorage", kind="StorageV2")

# create a blob storage account in a different region
rg$create_storage_account("myblobstorage",
    location="australiasoutheast",
