Transcript

Hi, everyone, and welcome back. What I want to do here in this lesson is quickly show you how to create a network security group, so let's jump right in.

I'm logged in to my Azure portal here and what I want to do is choose the hamburger up here in the top-left. And after I click it, I can click Create a resource here. What I need to do is choose Networking and then, I'm going to select the Network security group option here. I could also search for it in the Marketplace.

Now, from here, I need to tell Azure which subscription I want to deploy to and into which resource group. So let me select my resource group here and I'll deploy into my lab subscription.

I need to give my network security group a name, so I'm going to call it MyNSG, and then, what I'll do here is I'll deploy into Central US.

Now, if I wanted to tag my network security group, I could click the Next Tags down here at the bottom, and typically, you would use tags to further break out or group resources. I'm not going to tag anything here, so what I'll do is just click Review and Create.

Now, at this point, Azure validates the information I've supplied. We can see that it passed validation by looking at the green stripe here, so let's launch the deployment by clicking Create down here. What I'll do here is click Go to resource and with my network security group created, I can now create a custom rule for it. I'll show you how to do that in the next demonstration.
