Hello All, I'm not getting the option to create standard blob storage account. Instead I have the option to create standard general purpose v2 and premium block blob, files and page blob storage accounts. Is there any way to create standard blob storage account?

Hi Rakesh, You can't create legacy blob storage account via the portal, but you can create it via PowerShell using Cloud Shell . Below is sample code (resource group needs to exist before running): New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName myresourcegroup -Name myblobstorageaccount -Location westus -SkuName Standard_LRS -Kind BlobStorage -AccessTier Hot Create a storage account https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create?tabs=azure-powershell Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful. Thanks. -TP

Getting Kind and SKu invalid. Please suggest

PS C:\Users\VMadministrator> New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName rgname -Name stgname -Location westus3 -SkuName Standard_ZRS -Kind BlobStorage -AccessTier Hot -Verbose

WARNING: Upcoming breaking changes in the cmdlet 'New-AzStorageAccount' :

Default value of AllowBlobPublicAccess and AllowCrossTenantReplication will be changed from True to False in a future release.

When AllowBlobPublicAccess is False on a storage account, it is not permitted to configure container ACLs to allow anonymous access to blobs within the storage account.

When AllowCrossTenantReplication is False on a storage account, cross AAD tenant object replication is not allowed.

The change is expected to take effect from Az version : '11.0.0'

The change is expected to take effect from version : '6.0.0'

Cmdlet invocation changes :

Old Way : AllowBlobPublicAccess and AllowCrossTenantReplication are set to True by defult. New Way : AllowBlobPublicAccess and AllowCrossTenantReplication are set to False by default.

Note : Go to https://aka.ms/azps-changewarnings for steps to suppress this breaking change warning, and other information on breaking changes in Azure PowerShell.

Legacy blob storage account doesn't support ZRS, only LRS/GRS/RA-GRS. Please see chart in the article I linked to above.
