### Problem Description

We are not able to create, verify and use repository in Azure storage account. We are receiving the following message:  
`curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/*snapshot/lab_backup/%3Cmy_snapshot*%7Bnow%2Fd%7D%3E?pretty" { "accepted" : true } elasticsearch@elasticsearch-ss-0:~$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/*snapshot/lab_backup/lab_snapshot* `date +"%Y.%m.%d"`?wait_for_completion=true" {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"snapshot_exception","reason":"[lab_backup:lab_snapshot_2023.03.27/Jf2Dej8lTqOQ0L3kYXf8yg] failed to update snapshot in repository"}],"type":"snapshot_exception","reason":"[lab_backup:lab_snapshot_2023.03.27/Jf2Dej8lTqOQ0L3kYXf8yg] failed to update snapshot in repository","caused_by":{"type":"blob_storage_exception","reason":"Status code 400, " \n`BlobTypeNotSupported`Block blobs are not supported.\nRequestId:bc4cb5e8-a01c-004b-4985-60dd95000000\nTime:2023-03-27T08:24:16.9573320Z"","suppressed":[{"type":"exception","reason":"#block terminated with an error"},{"type":"blob_storage_exception","reason":"Status code 400, " \n`BlobTypeNotSupported`Block blobs are not supported.\nRequestId:bc4cb5f6-a01c-004b-5785-60dd95000000\nTime:2023-03-27T08:24:16.9712714Z"","suppressed":[{"type":"exception","reason":"#block terminated with an error"}]},{"type":"blob_storage_exception","reason":"Status code 400, " \n`BlobTypeNotSupported`

elasticsearch@elasticsearch-ss-0:~$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/lab\_backup?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"type": "azure",  
"settings": {  
"client": "default",  
"container": "backupes"  
}  
}  
'  
{  
"acknowledged" : true  
} `

### Steps to Reproduce

1. create Azure storage account of type StorageV2 (general purpose v2), performance Premium, replication Locally-redundant storage (LRS). Into this SA create container "backupes".
2. Create keystore (bin/elasticsearch-keystore add azure.client.default.key). with account name and secret.
3. create repository:'\</\>elasticsearch@elasticsearch-ss-0:~~$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/lab\_backup?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"type": "azure",  
"settings": {  
"client": "default",  
"container": "backupes"  
}  
}  
'  
{  
"acknowledged" : true  
}  
4.send snapshot to the repository:elasticsearch@elasticsearch-ss-0:~~$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/_snapshot/lab\_backup/lab\_snapshot_ `date +"%Y.%m.%d"`?wait\_for\_completion=true"  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"snapshot\_exception","reason":"[lab\_backup:lab\_snapshot\_2023.03.27/Jf2Dej8lTqOQ0L3kYXf8yg] failed to update snapshot in repository"}],"type":"snapshot\_exception","reason":"[lab\_backup:lab\_snapshot\_2023.03.27/Jf2Dej8lTqOQ0L3kYXf8yg] failed to update snapshot in repository","caused\_by":{"type":"blob\_storage\_exception","reason":"Status code 400, " \n`BlobTypeNotSupported`Block blobs are not supported.\nRequestId:bc4cb5e8-a01c-004b-4985-60dd95000000\nTime:2023-03-27T08:24:16.9573320Z"","suppressed":[{"type":"excepti \</\>

So the issue was that I used wrong blob type. When I used :

account\_kind = "BlockBlobStorage"

it started to work.
