Create a container using the Azure Resource Management template

Question

Is there a way to create a container when creating an Azure storage account using an ARM template?

If this design is unavailable, is there a way to write any extension that can be accomplished with ARM deployment time?

Answer 1

To date, no. You cannot create a container through an ARM template. This is because ARM is designed to manage the control plane for Azure Resources, such as creating / updating / deleting storage accounts when creating containers under the control of the data plane, and for this you need to use the REST API for storage.
