Unable to create resources

Hey Gurpreet, I understand how frustrating it can be when things don't work as expected. Let's walk through the steps to create an Azure Storage account using the Azure Portal:

Sign in to the Azure Portal:

• Go to Azure Portal and sign in with your Azure account.

Create a Resource:

  - Click on the **"Create a resource"** button on the left-hand menu.
  
  **Search for Storage Account**:
  
     - In the search bar, type **"Storage account"** and select **"Storage account"** from the dropdown.
     
     **Basics Tab**:
     
        - **Subscription**: Ensure the correct subscription is selected.
        
           - **Resource group**: Select an existing resource group or create a new one.
           
              - **Storage account name**: Enter a unique name for your storage account. The name must be between 3 and 24 characters and can include numbers and lowercase letters only.
              
                 - **Region**: Choose the region closest to your location.
                 
                    - **Performance**: Select either **Standard** or **Premium** based on your needs.
                    
                       - **Redundancy**: Choose the redundancy option that suits your requirements (e.g., LRS, GRS).
                       
                       **Advanced, Networking, Data Protection, and Tags Tabs**:
                       
                          - You can configure additional settings in these tabs, but for a basic setup, you can leave the default settings.
                          
                          **Review + Create**:
                          
                             - Click on the **"Review + create"** button. Azure will validate your settings.
                             
                                - Once validation is complete, click on the **"Create"** button to create the storage account.
                                

If the creation process still doesn't proceed, here are a few troubleshooting steps:

• Check Quotas: Ensure you haven't reached the limit for storage accounts in your subscription.
• Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to create resources in the selected subscription and resource group.
• Azure Status: Check the Azure Status page to see if there are any ongoing issues in your region.
