# create\_storage

`imerit_ango.sdk.SDK.`

## create\_storage(storage\_data)

Integrate a cloud storage provider to your organization with the required credentials and configuration.

### Parameters

* **storage\_data:** Storage
  * A Storage object containing the following attributes:
  * **name:** string
    * The name of the storage instance.
  * **provider:** StorageProvider
    * The cloud storage provider. Options:
      * <kbd>StorageProvider.AWS</kbd>
      * <kbd>StorageProvider.GCP</kbd>
      * <kbd>StorageProvider.AZURE</kbd>
  * **public\_key:** string
    * The public access key for your cloud storage account. For Azure, this is the storage account name.
  * **private\_key:** string
    * The private access key for your cloud storage account. For Azure, this is the storage account key.
  * **region:** string, *default "eu-central-1"*
    * The geographical region where your storage is located. For Azure, use the storage account's Location value.
  * **credentials:** string
    * Additional credentials required for accessing the cloud storage.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For Azure storage integrations, the storage account must allow account key access. If *Allow storage account key access* is disabled in Azure, Ango Hub cannot use the account key to generate the temporary SAS URLs required to read, list, or write blobs.
{% endhint %}

```python
from imerit_ango.models.storage import Storage
from imerit_ango.models.enums import StorageProvider
```

Returns:

* **output:** dict
  * A dictionary containing the result of the operation.
  * Including a `status` field indicating whether the request was successful and a `data` field containing the response payload with updated resources produced by the operation.
