Deploying various type of storage(s) inside Azure Storage account using ARM template

3 min readJul 27, 2020

Azure Storage is one of the cloud computing PaaS (Platform as a Service) services provided by the Microsoft Azure team. It provides cloud storage that is highly available, secure, durable, scalable, and redundant. It is massively scalable and elastic. It can store and process hundreds of terabytes of data or you can store the small amounts of data required for a small business website.

Recently one of my colleague has asked me they want to deploy all storage options using a single ARM template such as

Blob/Containers
Fileshares
Tables
Queues

In order to achieve i have written below ARM template to achieve this,
