Create the Resource Group

Login to Azure

az login --username YOUR_TURING_EMAIL --output none

Login with your Turing account.

Activate the Subscription

Hub23 has its own subscription and so we have to activate that.

To check which subscriptions you have access to, run the following:

az account list --refresh --output table

You should see turingmybinder listed as an option. If not, request access by opening a TopDesk ticket.

To activate the subscription, run the following:

az account set --subscription turingmybinder

Create a Resource Group

Azure groups related resources together by assigning them to a Resource Group. We need to create one for Hub23.

az group create --name hub23 --location westeurope --output table

• --name is what we’ll use to identify resources relating to the BinderHub and should be short and descriptive. Hence we’ve given it the same name as our hub.

• --location sets the region of data centres that will host the resources.

• --output table prints the info in a human-readable format.

Note

If the resource group already exists, this step can be skipped. Test if the resource group exists by running the following: az group exists --name hub23
