Organizations over the world are migrating partially or fully to the cloud, but with the whole slew of providers, tools, and platforms available, knowing where to start can be quite challenging.

Resource group identification

After the subscription is identified, you will need to decide on the resource group. You can use an existing resource group or create a new one specifically for AVS.

A resource group is a container for Azure solutions that houses connected resources. The resource group can contain all the solutions resources or just the ones you want to manage as a group. Based on what makes the most sense for your company, you select how to allocate resources to resource groupings. Add resources with the same lifetime to the same resource group to make it easier to publish, update, and delete them.

The metadata for the resources is stored in the resource group. As a result, when you specify a location for the resource group, you’re also specifying the location of the metadata. You may need to verify that your data is stored in a specific location for compliance reasons.
