How to Create a Resource Group in Microsoft Azure

Introduction
What is a Resource Group in Azure?
Resource groups (RG) in Azure is a new approach to group a collection of assets in logical groups for easy or even automatic provisioning, monitoring, and access control, and for more effective management of their costs. One benefit of using RGs in Azure is grouping related resources that belong to an application together, as they share a unified lifecycle from creation to usage and finally, de-provisioning.

To better understand this challenge, imagine you wanted to create an application in Azure management portal. To do so, you would create the virtual networks, the storage account(s), the cloud services, virtual machines, and potentially many other components of that application—without the ability to group them. This article explains how to setup a Resource Group on Azure.
Step 1: Log into Azure Portal

• Go to 👉 https://portal.azure.com and sign in with your Azure account.
  
  Step 2: Navigate to Resource Groups

• In the search bar at the top, type Resource Groups.

• Select Resource Groups from the search results.

Step 3: Create Resource Group

• Click + Create (or + New Resource Group depending on the version).

• Fill out the following details:

1. Subscription: Select the Azure subscription you want to use.
2. Resource Group Name: Enter a unique name for your resource group.
3. Region: Choose the region where the resources will be stored (e.g., East US, West Europe).

Step 4: Review + Create

• Then click Review + Create.

• Review your configuration

Conclusion
You have successfully set up a Resource groups (RG) in Microsoft Azure.
