Create an Azure App Configuration Store

This sample script creates a new instance of Azure App Configuration in a new resource group.

[!INCLUDE quickstarts-free-trial-note]

[!INCLUDE azure-cli-prepare-your-environment.md]

• This tutorial requires version 2.0 or later of the Azure CLI. If using Azure Cloud Shell, the latest version is already installed.

Sample script

#!/bin/bash

appConfigName=myTestAppConfigStore
#resource name must be lowercase
myAppConfigStoreName=${appConfigName,,}
myResourceGroupName=$appConfigName"Group"

# Create resource group 
az group create --name $myResourceGroupName --location eastus

# Create the Azure AppConfig Service resource and query the hostName
appConfigHostname=$(az appconfig create \
  --name $myAppConfigStoreName \
  --location eastus \
  --resource-group $myResourceGroupName \
  --query endpoint \
  --sku free \
  -o tsv
  )

# Get the AppConfig connection string 
appConfigConnectionString=$(az appconfig credential list \
--resource-group $myResourceGroupName \
--name $myAppConfigStoreName \
--query "[?name=='Secondary Read Only'] .connectionString" -o tsv)

# Echo the connection string for use in your application
echo "$appConfigConnectionString"

Make a note of the actual name generated for the new resource group. You will use that resource group name when you want to delete all group resources.
