1. Create a storage account as provided name with the subscription provided. 2. Go to VM [should be created already by the exam]-> Help> Boot diagnostics -> Settings -> "Enable with custom storage account", select the storage account and apply.

Dependent on whether the VM is created or not we have 2 main paths: 1. Create a storage account 2. Go to VM -> Help> Boot diagnostics -> Settings -> "Enable with custom storage account" 2.1. If we have to create the VM -> tab monitoring -> boot diagnostics -> enable with custom storage account and select the storage created in step 1 or, if you first create the VM -> chose create new and create the storage account directly with the creation of the VM
