Enable static website on Azure Storage not showing in the list of options

Question

I would like to have a go at using Azure storage to host my static website.

Following this tutorial I have got to the point here I need to enable static website.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-static-website-host

However when I go to do this.. the option of static website isn't in the list.

Can anyone help me? I have tried different regions and account kinds but none of them are showing the option.

As shown in my screenshot below I have set ip up with Storage V2 (General Purpose V2) as per the docs, but still do not get the option.

Answer 1

The problem I believe is your combination of account's Performance and Replication. Currently it is set as Premium LRS which does not support static website.

Please create a new Storage V2 account with Standard performance tier and LRS replication and you should be able to see the option of enabling static website.

Answer 2

Note that if Account Kind is Storage (general purpose v1) than also you will not able to see Static web site feature.

Create a storage account with Account Kind: StorageV2 (general purpose v2)
