Add a container

The container holds the database and associated files.

From the left-hand menu, select 'Containers' (under 'Data storage').

Click "+ Container".

Add the following details (right-hand panel)

Name: e.g., '<client name>-container' (lower case letters, numbers and hyphens only)

Public-level access: Private (no anonymous access) (default)

Alternatively, try Container (anonymous read access for containers and blobs) for public access level

Click 'Create' (bottom of right-hand panel).   The newly created container is displayed after a short time.

Click on the container to open the container page.

NOTE:

• At this point, you can upload a copy of the client database as a .bacpac file, or you can connect to the server - which is created in the next section - in SQL Server Management Studio from the workstation.
