Azure Cloud: Mounting Azure storage as a drive on windows machine
One of the common challenges faced while working on the cloud is to use a consistent storage across multiple VM's to be able to retrieve data on all of them.
Solution to this is to mount Azure File service (Part of Azure storage account) as a drive on your VM.
In this blog I will walk you through the steps to achieve the same.
First create a normal storage account on the Azure portal. Try to host the storage account in the same region as your VM to avoid latency issues during data transfer to and fro from the VM.
Now you need to create a file share in that storage account which can only be done via either Azure Powershell or Azure API. In this blog we will be using Azure Powershell
1. Add-AzureRMAccount to configure powershell to use your Azure Account.
