Quickstart: Create and deploy an Azure AI Health Insights resource (CLI)

This quickstart provides step-by-step instructions to create a resource and deploy a model. You can create resources in Azure in several different ways:

• The Azure portal
• The REST APIs, the Azure CLI, PowerShell, or client libraries
• Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates

In this article, you review examples for creating and deploying resources with the Azure CLI.

Prerequisites

• An Azure subscription.
• The Azure CLI. For more information, see How to install the Azure CLI.

Sign in to the Azure CLI

Sign in to the Azure CLI or select Open Cloudshell in the following steps.

Create an Azure resource group

To create an Azure Health Insights resource, you need an Azure resource group. When you create a new resource through the Azure CLI, you can also create a new resource group or instruct Azure to use an existing group. The following example shows how to create a new resource group named HealthInsightsResourceGroup with the az group create command. The resource group is created in the East US location.

az group create \
--name HealthInsightsResourceGroup \
--location eastus

Create a resource

Use the az cognitiveservices account create command to create an Azure Health Insights resource in the resource group. In the following example, you create a resource named HealthInsightsResource in the HealthInsightsResourceGroup resource group. When you try the example, update the code to use your desired values for the resource group and resource name, along with your Azure subscription ID.

az cognitiveservices account create \
--name HealthInsightsResource \
--resource-group HealthInsightsResourceGroup \
--kind HealthInsights \
--sku F0 \
--location eastus \
--custom-domain healthinsightsresource \
--subscription <subscriptionID>

Retrieve information about the resource

After you create the resource, you can use different commands to find useful information about your Azure Health Insights instance. The following examples demonstrate how to retrieve the REST API endpoint base URL and the access keys for the new resource.

Get the endpoint URL

Use the az cognitiveservices account show command to retrieve the REST API endpoint base URL for the resource. In this example, we direct the command output through the jq JSON processor to locate the .properties.endpoint value.

When you try the example, update the code to use your values for the resource group and resource.

az cognitiveservices account show \
--name HealthInsightsResource \
--resource-group HealthInsightsResourceGroup \
| jq -r .properties.endpoint

Get the primary API key

To retrieve the access keys for the resource, use the az cognitiveservices account keys list command. In this example, we direct the command output through the jq JSON processor to locate the .key1 value.

When you try the example, update the code to use your values for the resource group and resource.

az cognitiveservices account keys list \
--name HealthInsightsResource \
--resource-group HealthInsightsResourceGroup \
| jq -r .key1

Delete a resource or resource group

If you want to clean up after these exercises, you can remove your Azure Health Insights resource by deleting the resource through the Azure CLI.

To remove the resource, use the az cognitiveservices account delete command. When you run this command, be sure to update the example code to use your values for the resource group and resource.

az cognitiveservices account delete \
--name HealthInsightsResource \
--resource-group HealthInsightsResourceGroup

You can also delete the resource group. If you choose to delete the resource group, all resources contained in the group are also deleted. When you run this command, be sure to update the example code to use your values for the resource group.

az group delete \
--name HealthInsightsResourceGroup
