Create a Resource Group

Create a resource group that will contain a virtual network and a virtual machine for cloud bursting.

You must have already purchased an Azure subscription and have an Azure user account.

Azure documentation can be found at What is an Azure resource group and Manage Azure resources through portal.

A resource group is container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you want to manage as a group. You decide how you want to allocate resources to resource groups based on what makes the most sense for your organization. Once the resource group is created, resources that are placed into the resource group are a virtual network, a virtual machine, and an image of the virtual machine.

  1. Login in to your Microsoft Azure account.
  2. Using the search box, enter resource groups.
    A list of search results is listed.
  3. Under Services, click Resource Groups.
  4. Click Create.
Enter the following to configure the basic settings for the resource group:
  1. For Project Details enter the following:
    1. For Subscription, choose the subscription to be billed for the use of the VM.
    2. For Resource group, enter a name for the resource group.
      The name can be anything meaningful to your organization, e.g., bursting_resource_group.
  2. For Resource Details enter the following:
    1. For Region, select a location based on the geographical location of users.
  3. Click Review + create.
  4. Click Create.
    It may take a moment to create the resource group. All resources (networks, virtual machines, etc.) that are created are placed within this resource group. The name of the resource group is required for creating a bursting scenario in NavOps.
