My notes on how to do stuff in Azure

New account on a new laptop

Start off with a new conda environment

conda create -n azure Python=3.7
conda activate azure

Install the azure cli and log on to the azure account

## This may take a while
pip install azure-cli
## Opens up a browser window where you put your credentials in
az login 

Look at available regions

az account list-locations -o table

Create a resource group in one of the regions

az group create --name NAGTraining --location ukwest

List resource groups

az group list -o table

List locations

Create a resource group

List them all with their IP address
