Quickstart: Create and access Azure Deployment Environments by using the developer portal
This quickstart shows you how to create and access an environment in an existing Azure Deployment Environments project.
In this quickstart, you learn how to:
- Create an environment
- Access an environment
Prerequisites
Create an environment
You can create an environment from the developer portal.
Note
Only a user who has the Deployment Environments User role, the DevCenter Project Admin role, or a built-in role that has appropriate permissions can create an environment.
Sign in to the developer portal.
From the New menu at the top right, select New environment.
In the Add an environment pane, select the following information:
Field Value Name Enter a descriptive name for your environment. Project Select the project you want to create the environment in. If you have access to more than one project, you see a list of the available projects. Type Select the environment type you want to create. If you have access to more than one environment type, you see a list of the available types. Environment definitions Select the environment definition you want to use to create the environment. You see a list of the environment definitions available from the catalogs associated with your dev center.
If your environment is configured to accept parameters, you are able to enter them on a separate pane. In this example, you don't need to specify any parameters.
- Select Create. You see your environment in the developer portal immediately, with an indicator that shows creation in progress.
Access an environment
You can access and manage your environments in the Microsoft Developer portal.
Sign in to the developer portal.
You are able to view all of your existing environments. To access the specific resources created as part of an Environment, select the Environment Resources link.
You are able to view the resources in your environment listed in the Azure portal.
Creating an environment automatically creates a resource group that stores the environment's resources. The resource group name follows the pattern {projectName}-{environmentName}. You can view the resource group in the Azure portal.
