How To Create Different Environments on Azure

Building different environments such as dev, QA, prod on Azure

Every application needs different environments for different purposes and each application needs at least 3 environments. For example, we need a Development environment for the developers to push the code and test it themselves, a QA environment for testers to test the app before we put that into production, a prod environment for the live users.

We need to build these environments before we deploy our applications. We can even have a separate one for regression testing and we can have as many environments as we want. It all depends on our needs.

In Azure, we can build these environments using resource groups and subscriptions. In this post, we will see what are resource groups and what are subscriptions, and how we can use these to build separate environments for applications in Azure.
