# How Do I Create an Azure Resource Group?

## What Is an Azure Resource Group?

A Resource Group in Azure is a way to group Azure resources. For example, a Resource Group could include all the resources linked to a particular piece of software, such as Lasernet, or to a particular project, such as a new server.

Microsoft describes a Resource Group as follows: “A Resource Group is a 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.”

For more technical information about the Azure Resource Group, consult [Microsoft's documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/manage-resource-groups-portal#what-is-a-resource-group).

The creation and configuration of the Azure Resource Group require the user to create new resources in Azure. If you are unsure of how to work within Azure, contact your system administrator.

## Where Do We Use Resource Groups?

For Lasernet, Resource Groups are not strictly necessary, but they can be very useful for grouping the other required Azure resources. For example, virtual machines, service buses, and storage accounts. The following is a resource group containing all of the Azure resources for a training environment:

## How Do I Create a Resource Group?

1. Azure will run some basic checks. If the checks pass, the “Validation passed” message will be displayed. Click **Create** to add the new resource group.

A message will be displayed showing that the deployment is in progress.

Your resource group has now been created, and you can use it to group your linked resources.
