Clicking on the search results opens the Resource group blade. We simply need to click Create at the bottom of the screen.

As shown in the following screenshot, we'll fill the textboxes with the following properties:

• Resource group name: ADFV2Book.
• Subscription: Should be filled with the active subscription used to create the resource group.
• Resource group location: We can choose any location we want. Location is not that important for a resource group but for compliance reasons, we should use a location where all our Azure artifacts will be created.

Once we click on Create at the bottom of the blade, we get the Resource group created notification, as shown in the following screenshot:

We can pin it to the dashboard if needed. When we click on Go to resource group, we get the following blade:

That's it, our resource group is created! We're now ready to add some Azure artifacts to it. More information on resource groups can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-overview.
