Azure Storage account consistently only adding Blob storage, missing Table/Queue/Files

Question

Whenever I create a new Storage (classic) account through the Azure portal I consistently have issues whereby the Table/Queue/File storage is not created at all, leaving the account with only Blob storage, like this:

Instead of like this (separate account):

I have tried this multiple times and all have had the same result. I don't see how I can be getting this wrong as there is only 4 options on the form to create the account, and none of them govern the content of the account.

When I then attempt to create a new Table or Queue in this new account I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.

Am I missing something here? Can anyone tell me how I can add the required storage types to the account.

Answer 1

In my case the issue was due to selecting Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS).

Since ZRS accounts only support Block Blobs, you will not see the table, queue or file endpoints listed on the portal for the new account.

Recreating the storage account using Globaly Redundant Storage (GRS) worked.

Answer 2

Not sure what's up with the portal, but a storage account always comprises blob, table, queue, and file storage (unless you create a Premium storage account - that's strictly blobs).

You should be able to confirm this by creating an app to, say, create, write, and read from a queue or table.

EDIT I see you edited your question, showing that you did try to create a table/queue. If this is a non-premium account, I suggest reaching out to support, as this makes no sense.

EDIT 4/2017 Aside from Premium storage accounts (which only have page blobs), there is another type of general (non-premium) storage account, specific to blobs only, where you won't be able to create Tables and Queues, but it's not available via the "Classic" deployment model; it's available only via "Resource Manager" deployment model:
