    Manages a Container within an Azure Storage Account.

    Example Usage

    using Pulumi;
using Azure = Pulumi.Azure;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        var exampleResourceGroup = new Azure.Core.ResourceGroup("exampleResourceGroup", new Azure.Core.ResourceGroupArgs
        {
            Location = "West Europe",
        });
        var exampleAccount = new Azure.Storage.Account("exampleAccount", new Azure.Storage.AccountArgs
        {
            ResourceGroupName = exampleResourceGroup.Name,
            Location = exampleResourceGroup.Location,
