Creating the Resource Group

A Resource Group is the logical container in which you can create resources such as network components, computer resources, storage, etc.

Refer to the Azure documentation for more information.

In this section, we will create a Resource Group for testing LifeKeeper (we will name it LK-QSG) as follows:

1. Select “Resource groups” from the home screen to browse the list of existing resource groups, then click “Create” located at the top.

2. Specify the name of Resource group as LK-QSG, then select the Region to create the resource group. Note that the region used to create the resource group must have 3 availability zones.

Once you make the selections, click “Review + Create”.

3. The wizard evaluates these values and you can now create the resource if the validation passes.

Click “Create” to create the resource group.

4. Now the resource group is created.
