Day 1

~1 hour Intermediate Hands-on Precision AI Academy

Today's Objective

Create a free Azure account, understand subscriptions and resource groups, install the Azure CLI, and deploy your first resource.

Azure Resource Model

Everything in Azure lives inside a Resource Group — a logical container for related resources. Put a web app, its database, and its storage in one group. Delete the group when done and everything goes with it.

azure_cli_setup.txt
AZURE CLI SETUP
# Install: aka.ms/installazurecliwindows (or brew install azure-cli on Mac)
az login
az account list
az account set --subscription 'Your Subscription Name'

# Create a resource group
az group create --name myapp-rg --location eastus

# List resources in a group
az resource list --resource-group myapp-rg --output table
Use resource groups per environment: myapp-dev-rg, myapp-prod-rg. Delete the dev group on Friday to avoid weekend charges. Create a fresh one Monday.
