The storage_name variable is the name of the storage service to attach to the instance, it is blob storage service in Azure that serves as the backend to the instance. To build a storage using this make a module declaration within an environment for the storage_service module at ./modules/compute/storage/storage_service and pass the appropriate variables in the terraform.tfvars file of the specified environment. It's important to note that each storage service requires a unique name.
