Azure is Microsoft's cloud.
NOTE We will use the Azure CLI (Command Line Interface) for all example commands.
Subscription
A subscription is basically billing address. A "subscription id" is a GUID.
A subscription id is also known as:
- Tenant ID
- Directory ID
Resource Group
Resource groups belong to a subscription. A "resource group id" is a GUID. Everything you create in Azure will belong to a resource group. VMs, virtual networks, database servers, etc. that you create in Azure will belong to a resource group. Making each of these things can be tricky. The really nice thing about a resource group is you can easily kill them.
az group delete --name truxtonrg --subscription 78E6D3E6-F7D7-4FDF-A9FC-40F014C3D78F --yes
When you delete a resource group, Azure will conveniently destroy every resource in that group. While you may have carefully toiled to create many intricately connected resources, they can all be killed in an instant.
How To
When we write Powershell scripts to create the pieces of Truxton in Azure, we will typically provide as much information as possible to those scripts. When creating a resource, the resource group id will be a mandatory parameter while the subscription id is an optional parameter. We will always specify both. We have encountered enough problems that were solved by providing both ids that we will forever provide both to the Azure CLI scripts.
