Create Azure Resource Group

The first step of using Microsoft Azure is creating a resource group. A resource group is a container that holds related resources for the Azure solution that need to be managed as a group. You can create a resource group in Azure either through a portal provided by Azure or through Azure Cloud Shell.

Using Azure Portal

In case you are using Microsoft Azure Portal, the following steps will help you create an Azure Resource Group.

• Log in to Microsoft Azure Portal.

• On the leftmost tab, click on Resource Groups.

• Under the Resource groups tag, click on the + option. Type the name that is suitable for your resource group.

• Click on Review + create to review the required resource group properties.

• Click on Create to create your resource group in Azure.

• To check whether the resource group has been successfully created or not, from the leftmost pane, go to Resource Groups. Under the Name list, verify that the name of the resource group created is present.

Using Azure Shell

Follow the steps provided below to create a Resource Group using Azure Cloud Shell.

• Log in to the Microsoft Azure Cloud Shell.

• To create a new resource group, execute the following command.

 az group create --name aksgroup --location centralus

After successfully creating an Azure resource group, you need to create a Kubernetes cluster which is explained in the next chapter.
