Create an application group (preview)

Important

This capability is in public preview and isn't ready yet for production use. For more information, see the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews.

After you create an integration environment, create one or more application groups to organize existing Azure resources related to your integration solutions. These groups help you break down your environment even further so that you can manage your resources at more a granular level.

Prerequisites

• An Azure account and subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, sign up for a free Azure account.

• An integration environment

• Existing Azure resources to add and organize in your application group

  These resources and your integration environment must exist in the same Azure subscription. For information about supported resources, see Supported Azure resources.

• An existing or new Azure Data Explorer cluster and database

  This Azure resource is required to create an application group. Your application group uses this database to store specific business property values that you want to capture and track for business process tracking scenarios. After you create a business process in your application group, specify the key business properties to capture and track as data moves through deployed resources, map these properties to actual Azure resources, and deploy your business process, you specify a database table to create or use for storing the desired data.

  Note

  Although Azure Integration Environments doesn't incur charges during preview, Azure Data Explorer incurs charges, based on the selected pricing option. For more information, see Azure Data Explorer pricing.

Create an application group with resources

1. In the Azure portal, find and open your integration environment.

2. On your integration environment menu, under Environment, select Applications.
