Demo: Azure Queue Storage and Containers
Practice some interesting CLI commands related to Azure Queue Storage and the storage containers.
We know how to create a storage queue and storage containers using Azure Portal. Here, we’ll be using CLI commands to do the same. We’ll explain how to create a storage account and then a queue inside it. After that, we’ll learn how to push a message to the queue, then pop it out, and then try out some different operations on the queue.
Resource group → Storage account → Storage queue → Enque → Deque
After storage queues, we’ll explore some operations on Azure Storage containers.
