Azure-docs: Notebook: Unclear instructions on how to upload sample images to Azure Blob Container

[ArvidBaa]

To complete the example notebook, there is an instruction to 'Get samples images and upload to Datastore'. There is, however, no instructions on where to actually upload the sample images to an Azure Blob Container. There are a few links to instructions on _how_, but not to _where_. It would be useful if the guide could be a little more detailed on that matter. Where is the Datastore? I have multiple existing Blob Containers in the automatically created storage resource, which one should I use? Should the folders be uploaded as-is, or should they be renamed?

The code snippet that follows the manual instructions is dependent on this step being properly executed, and some hints on how to correctly upload the sample images could be added here. For example, the parameters in the call Datastore.register_azure_blob_container(ws, "sampledata", "sampledata", account_name=account_name, overwrite=True) could be explained. What is the reason the two strings are both 'sampledata'?

All other notebooks I have come across so far have been more clear on all steps. I think this would benefit from being a little more clear as well.

@sanpil - has this been addressed?

[sanpil]

Yes, this has been addressed. In the latest update, we have modified the code and used named parameters. As in:

account_name = "pipelinedata"
sample_data = Datastore.register_azure_blob_container(
ws, datastore_name="images_datastore",
container_name="sampledata",
account_name=account_name,
overwrite=True)
