To use the Azure NetApp Files service, you need to register the NetApp Resource Provider.

  1. From the Azure portal, click the Azure Cloud Shell icon on the upper right-hand corner:

  3. In the Azure Cloud Shell console, enter the following command to verify that your subscription has been approved:

    az feature list | grep NetApp

    The command output appears as follows:

    "id": "/subscriptions/<SubID>/providers/Microsoft.Features/providers/Microsoft.NetApp/features/ANFGA",

    <SubID> is your subscription ID.

  4. In the Azure Cloud Shell console, enter the following command to register the Azure Resource Provider:

    az provider register --namespace Microsoft.NetApp --wait

    The --wait parameter instructs the console to wait for the registration to complete. The registration process can take some time to complete.

    az provider show --namespace Microsoft.NetApp
