Create an Azure App Configuration store

Prerequisites

An Azure account with an active subscription. Create one for free.

Create an App Configuration store

• Portal
• Azure CLI

1. On the Azure portal's homepage, enter App Configuration in the search box at the top and select App Configuration from the search results.

   

2. Select Create or Create app configuration.

   

3. In the Basics tab, enter the following settings:

   Setting	Suggested value	Description
   Subscription	Your subscription	Select the Azure subscription that you want to use to create an App Configuration store. If your account has only one subscription, it's automatically selected and the Subscription list isn't displayed.
   Resource group	AppConfigTestResources	Select or create a resource group for your App Configuration store resource. A resource group can be used to organize and manage multiple resources at the same time, such as deleting multiple resources in a single operation by deleting their resource group. For more information, see Manage Azure resource groups by using the Azure portal.
   Location	Central US	Use Location to specify the geographic location in which your app configuration store is hosted. For the best performance, create the resource in the same region as other components of your application.
   Resource name	Globally unique name	Enter a unique resource name to use for the App Configuration store resource. The name must be a string between 5 and 50 characters and contain only numbers, letters, and the - character. The name can't start or end with the - character.
   Pricing tier	Free	Selecting Free. If you select the standard tier, you can also get access to geo-replication and soft-delete features. For more information, see the App Configuration pricing page.

   

4. Select Review + create to validate your settings.

   

5. Select Create. The deployment might take a few minutes.

6. After the deployment finishes, go to the App Configuration resource. Select Settings > Access keys. Make a note of the primary read-only key connection string. You'll use this connection string later to configure your application to communicate with the App Configuration store that you created.

If you're following another tutorial to use the App Configuration store, you can go back to your original tutorial as the store should be ready. To continue with this tutorial, follow the steps below.
