Create a Resource Group

Creating a resource group is the first step in setting up your cloud environment. A resource group is a logical container that holds related resources for an Azure solution.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

An Azure account
Azure CLI installed on your computer

Steps

Log in to Azure CLI

Open your command prompt or terminal and run the following command to log in to Azure CLI:
```
az login
```
Follow the prompts to log in to your Azure account.
Create a Resource Group

Once you're logged in, use the following command to create a new resource group:
```
az group create --name <ResourceGroupName> --location <Location>
```
Replace <ResourceGroupName> with a name for your resource group and <Location> with the region where you want to create the resource group.

For example:
```
az group create --name myResourceGroup --location EastAsia
```
Verify the Resource Group

After creating the resource group, you can verify it using the following command:
```
az group show --name <ResourceGroupName>
```
This command will display the details of the resource group you just created.

Next Steps

Once you have created a resource group, you can start adding resources to it. Check out our Add Resources to a Resource Group guide to learn more.
