Looking to Create an Azure resource in Microsoft Azure? Well, you’ve come to the right place! In this guide, we’ll use the Azure portal to create a resource.

Introduction

What is Azure Ressouce?

  • A manageable item that is available through Azure.
  • Virtual machines, storage accounts, web apps, databases, and virtual networks are examples of resources.
  • Resource groups, subscriptions, management groups, and tags are also examples of resources.

Task Steps

Step 1: Create a Ressource Group

  1. Open the little side menu
  2. Go to Ressource groups

3. That will show us all our ressouce groups(this is a new account so we don’t have any ressource groups yet),so click on Create to create one.

4. Choose Azure subscription 1 which is a free trial.

5. Give the ressource group a name (in our case we can call this az900RG)

6. Choose a region and click on Next, we can give some things ,we’re not going through tags for now

Note:

Even though you can have any kind of ressouce from any from any kind of region in your ressource group ,the ressouce group itself still needs a region because there are metadata and other things that describes the ressource group that has to live somewhere.

7. Click on Review +create (there is a quick validation to make sure that we have got the rights properties for this ressource group)

8.Click on Create

9. Our ressouce group has been created,we can use this ressouce group to create other ressources inside it ,so in this case we’re going to create a VM.

Step 2: Create a virtual machine

  1. Select Create a resource > Compute > Virtual Machine > Create.
  2. The Create a virtual machine pane opens to the basics tab.
  3. Verify or enter the following values for each setting. If a setting isn’t specified, leave the default value.

4. Click on Disks and then on Review+create.

5.Click on Create

6. Now our VM has been created ,click on Go to Ressource

7. Every thing is now here ,which means we have our VM,if you want to use it click on Connect.

Step 3: Delete the Ressource

  1. Go to Ressource groups
  2. Select the ressource group that you have already created.

3.Click on Delete Ressouce group ,type the name and then click on Delete.

4.Delete the second ressource group created automaticaly as well , so none of them left .

And here we’re !

You’re all done! Congratulations!
