# example resource groups
az group list
az group create --name forcli --location 'Central US'
az group delete --name forcli
Scenario: Create a Resource Group and Virtual network with 3 subnets
- Navigate to here
- In this we would like create a resource group first. Now search for a section which is about resource groups
- Now open create section
- From this example our command looks like
az group create --location 'Central Us' --name 'fromcli'
- Create a Virtual Network. For cli refer here
az network vnet create --name fromcli --resource-group 'fromcli' --address-prefixes '192.168.0.0/16' --location 'Central Us' --subnet-name 'subnet1' --subnet-prefixes '192.168.0.0/24'
- Now lets add two more subnets
az network vnet subnet create --address-prefixes '192.168.1.0/24' --name 'subnet2' --resource-group 'fromcli' --vnet-name 'fromcli'
az network vnet subnet create --address-prefixes '192.168.2.0/24' --name 'subnet3' --resource-group 'fromcli' --vnet-name 'fromcli'
