Quickstart: Create a site in Azure Arc site manager (preview)

  • Grein

In this quickstart, you will create an Azure Arc site for resources grouped within a single resource group. Once you create your first Arc site, you're ready to view your resources within Arc and take actions on the resources, such as viewing inventory, connectivity status, updates, and alerts.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription. If you don't have a service subscription, create a free trial account in Azure.

  • Azure portal access

  • Internet connectivity

  • At least one supported resource in your Azure subscription or a resource group. For more information, see Supported resource types.

    Tip

    We recommend that you give the resource group a name that represents the real site function. For the example in this article, the resource group is named LA_10001 to reflect resources in Los Angeles.

  3. On a specific site's resource page, you can:

    • View resources
    • Modify resources (modifications affect the resources elsewhere as well)
    • View connectivity status
    • View update status
    • View alerts
    • Add new resources

Delete your site

You can delete a site from within the site's resource details page.

Deleting a site doesn't affect the resources or the resource group and subscription in its scope. After a site is deleted, the resources of that site can't be viewed or managed from site manager.

A new site can be created for the resource group or the subscription after the original site is deleted.
