4- Click Add.
5- Type your Azure credentials and then click ok.
6- Select region and then click next.
7- Add the Azure blob storage container that you wish to connect to, click the browse button to select the folder.
8- Click Next.
9- New External Repository click next.
10- Review the configuration under the summary page and then click Finish.
11- Under External Repositories, we can see the newly created repository. As you did not start the policy in the last step of the previous section, we won’t see the VMs that are protected under the policy. In a real organization, all the protected VMs are listed under the repositories.
