19. With this, we are done with the Azure Active Directory Application Creation.

The first step is to create an Azure Active Directory Application which we have done just now. The next step is to create an Azure Blob Storage. Hope that does not require much explanation. The high-level steps are, create a Blob Storage and assign the Application which we created with required permissions. Hence, I am going with the screen shots.
