# Enable the script to exit immediately on error
set -e

# Set values for your storage account
subscription_id="<subscription_id>"
azure_storage_account="<azure_storage_account>"
azure_storage_key="<azure_storage_key>"

echo "Creating container..."
az storage container create --account-name "$azure_storage_account" --subscription "$subscription_id" --name margies --public-access blob --auth-mode key --account-key "$azure_storage_key" --output none
