You can use powershell script in the Azure CLI task to check if container or directory exists and create them

And the inline script can be as follows:

$existing_container = (az storage container exists --account-name mystorageccount --name mycontainer  --auth-mode login | ConvertFrom-Json).exists
$existing_directory = (az storage blob directory exists  --directory-path directoryName --account-name mystorageccount --container-name mycontainer  --auth-mode login | ConvertFrom-Json).exists
if (!$existing_container)
                   az storage container create --account-name mystorageccount --name mycontainer  --auth-mode login
if (!$existing_directory)
                   az storage blob directory create --account-name mystorageccount --container-name mycontainer  --directory-path directoryName --auth-mode login
