Not able to create a container in Storage Account.

Not able to create Blob Storage Container

When am trying to create a container in Storage Account using the az storage container create command, am facing the following error

"stderr": "WARNING: Command group 'az storage' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus", "stderr_lines": ["WARNING: Command group 'az storage' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus"], "stdout": "{\n  \"created\": false\n}", "stdout_lines": ["{", "  \"created\": false", "}"]}

I have went through the documentation and was not able to find an alternative command to it.

Related command

az storage container create --name "{{ terraform_container_name }}" --public-access blob --account-name "{{ sa_name }}" --account-key {{ storage_account_key }}

Errors

"stderr": "WARNING: Command group 'az storage' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus", "stderr_lines": ["WARNING: Command group 'az storage' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus"], "stdout": "{\n "created": false\n}", "stdout_lines": ["{", " "created": false", "}"]}

Trying to automate create a resource group, setting up a storage account and then storage blob container which needs to be used for openTofu for state storage

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Hi strange2x, It seems storage-preview is installed as well, which is adding this warning. But it should not be redirected to stderr. Are you running in a pipeline somewhere that is taking all warning as error as well?
A temp fix is to use az extension remove -n storage-preview and it should then work properly. (not fixing the root cause of the environment)

Am not using pipeline am using ansible in my local to create the setup. I will try uninstalling but still not a permanent solution right

@calvinhzy @yonzhan I'm getting the same behavior. I've tried the command in Windows command shell, WSL, and CloudShell (Bash). CLI version in all three is 2.59. storage-preview is not present. Have either of you successfully run this command in your environment(s)?

Hmmm -- one other update. If I remove the --public-access parameter, the command works. By default, my storage account was created with anonymous access disabled. I notice that I can't set the access level on the container in the portal either. Still, it seems strange that the command would just fail w/o a helpful message. Once I enable anonymous access on the storage account, the command works with the --public-access blob parameter.
