Introduction

It is important to understand what a resource group means before we know how to create one. A resource group is a logical container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. For clarity, a resource group is like a folder you create on your computer that holds related files, etc. Like a folder, all its content will be lost if a resource group is deleted.

Here's a simple guide to creating a Resource Group:

Step 1: Access the Azure portal and sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, you can simply create a Free Azure Account for practice purposes.

Step 2: Search for the Azure resource you need using the search bar in the portal. In this case, one needs to search for Resource Group and click it. This will take you to the resource group creation page.

• Click on the Create button at the top-left corner of the page to start creating the resource group.

Step 3: On the Basics tab as seen below, this is where you give a unique name to your Resource Group. I used HealthServices for this example. Next, you select a Region of your choice that will host the resource - I chose East(US).

In simple terms, a Region in Microsoft Azure is a physical location on Earth where one or more data centers reside.

• Click Next to move to the Tags tab.

Step 4: On the Tags tab, you specify the individuals or departments, etc that will be responsible for using the resource group to be created.

Tags in Microsoft Azure help with tracking and organizing resources. They are useful for cost management and billing by identifying which departments or individuals are using resources.

• Click Next to access the Review + Create tab

Step 5: This is the final step where you will be able to review the details of the Resource Group to be created on the Review + Create tab. If satisfied with the outcome, click on Create to proceed with the creation of the HealthServices Resource Group.

You should find your newly created Resource Group displaying the Name, Subscription type, and the Location it was hosted as shown below.

Conclusion
We have successfully created a Resource Group called HealthServices hosted in East US Region on the Microsoft Azure Portal. Kindly note that a Resource Group can also be created using Azure CLI and PowerShell commands. For more information about that, stay updated for my next DevOps post here.
