Welcome to the Azure Services quick start guide. This page walks you through creating your first Azure service using the Azure CLI, PowerShell, and the Azure Portal.

1. Prerequisites

• An active Azure subscription.
• Azure CLI installed (az version 2.0+).
• PowerShell 7+ with Az module.
• Web browser for the Azure Portal.

2. Create a Resource Group

All Azure resources must belong to a resource group.

az group create --name MyResourceGroup --location eastus

New-AzResourceGroup -Name MyResourceGroup -Location eastus

3. Deploy a Web App

Deploy a simple web app service using the Azure CLI.

az webapp create --resource-group MyResourceGroup --plan MyAppServicePlan --name MyUniqueWebAppName --runtime "DOTNET|6.0"

Or deploy using PowerShell:

$plan = New-AzAppServicePlan -Name MyAppServicePlan -ResourceGroupName MyResourceGroup -Location eastus -Tier Free
New-AzWebApp -Name MyUniqueWebAppName -ResourceGroupName MyResourceGroup -AppServicePlan $plan.Id -Runtime "DOTNET|6.0"

4. Verify Deployment
