How to fix Azure Cloud Shell error "MissingSubscriptionRegistration - The subscription is not registered to use namespace 'Microsoft.Storage'"

azure, azure-cloud-shell

Solution

I found the answer by poking around: The resource providers are hidden within Subscriptions -> {my subscription} -> Resource providers -> Microsoft.Storage -> Register.

The Cloud Shell should now work.

Problem

I've just tried to use the fancy new Azure Cloud Shell announced at Build 2017 but I'm getting the following error (as a json message): ``` { "error": { "code": "MissingSubscriptionRegistration", "message": "The subscription is not registered to use namespace 'Microsoft.Storage'" } } ``` I've googled this and found answers that suggest I need to register a resource provider with: ``` Register-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Storage ``` or ``` azure provider register Microsoft.Storage ``` ...but I'm too lazy to setup a command line session to Azure. How do I do this with the Azure portal?
