Resource group from cli

• Lets create a resource group called fromcli
• Linux

az group create \
    --name 'fromcli' \
    --location 'centralindia' \
    --tags env=dev purpose=learning

* Windows

az group create `
    --name 'fromcli' `
    --location 'centralindia' `
    --tags env=dev purpose=learning

• Lets get all the resource groups Refer Here
  
• Delete the resource group az group delete -n fromcli --yes
• Check if fromcli resource group exists or not

az group exists --name fromcli

Create a cosmos db

• Steps:
  • Create a resource group
  • Create a cosmos db account for mongo
  • list the cosmos db created and check if it exists

az group create --name fromcli --location centralindia
az cosmosdb create \
    --name qtcosmosacc \
    --resource-group fromcli \
    --kind mongodb

az cosmosdb mongodb database create \
    --account-name qtcosmosacc \
    --resource-group fromcli \
    --name students
az group delete --name fromcli --yes --no-wait

• Powershell equivalent

az group create --name fromcli --location centralindia
az cosmosdb create ``
    --name qtcosmosacc `
    --resource-group fromcli `
    --kind mongodb

az cosmosdb mongodb database create `
    --account-name qtcosmosacc `
    --resource-group fromcli `
    --name students
