[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-AzResourceGroup cmdlet creates an Azure resource group. You can create a resource group by using just a name and location, and then use the New-AzResource cmdlet to create resources to add to the resource group. To add a deployment to an existing resource group, use the New-AzResourceGroupDeployment cmdlet. To add a resource to an existing resource group, use the New-AzResource cmdlet. An Azure resource is a user-managed Azure entity, such as a database server, database, or website. An Azure resource group is a collection of Azure resources that are deployed as a unit.
Examples
Example 1: Create an empty resource group
New-AzResourceGroup -Name RG01 -Location "South Central US"This command creates a resource group that has no resources. You can use the New-AzResource or New-AzResourceGroupDeployment cmdlets to add resources and deployments to this resource group.
Example 2: Create an empty resource group using positional parameters
New-AzResourceGroup RG01 "South Central US"This command creates a resource group that has no resources.
Example 3: Create a resource group with tags
New-AzResourceGroup -Name RG01 -Location "South Central US" -Tag @{Empty=$null; Department="Marketing"}This command creates an empty resource group. This command is the same as the command in Example 1, except that it assigns tags to the resource group. The first tag, named Empty, can be used to identify resource groups that have no resources. The second tag is named Department and has a value of Marketing. You can use a tag such as this one to categorize resource groups for administration or budgeting.
