Creating an Azure storage account

The Azure storage account is used for storing the boot diagnostics for the serial console usage of the FortiADC instance. If you are using a FortiADC BYOL image, you will also require an Azure storage account to upload the license files.

1. Go to the Storage accounts service to create a storage account or use an existing storage account. Refer to this Azure documentation for details. Take note of the Storage account name. It will be used in later steps.
   
   
2. The Subscription and Resource Group of the storage account should be the same as the HA resources to be deployed.
3. For the Networking settings, it is recommended to select Public endpoint (all networks). If you prefer to restrict access by allowing only selected networks or private endpoints, make sure to plan the network accordingly so that the FortiADC-VMs can successfully obtain license files from this storage account.
