Azure Created Container Not Displayed in Portal

I'm following steps in this tutorial: How to use Blob storage from iOS to generate Shared Access Signatures (SAS). I ran the commands successfully including this one:

azure storage container sas create --container sascontainer --permissions rw --expiry 2016-09-05T00:00:00

My terminal said:

info: Executing command storage container sas create + Creating shared access signature for container sascontainer

I looked at azure portal and I don't see that container: sascontainer created anywhere. According to this article (my understanding) is that it will create a container: --container : The name of the storage container to create.

So, where is it!? Shouldn't that command be enough to create that container and make it visible in my azure portal!? I also have looked in Azure Classic Portal.

azure storage container sas create --container sascontainer --permissions rw --expiry 2016-09-05T00:00:00

This command will not create a blob container. It will create a Shared Access Signature on a container named sascontainer with Read and Write permission that will expire on 2016-09-05T00:00:00.

To create a blob container, the command you want to use is:

azure storage container create "sascontainer"

Once this command completes successfully, you should be able to see the blob container in the portal.
