Azure CLI

Use the az group create command to create a resource group:
```
az group create --name myResourceGroup --location eastus
```
You can change "eastus" to a location nearer to you, if you prefer.
Use az keyvault create to create the key vault:
```
az keyvault create --name <your-unique-keyvault-name> --resource-group myResourceGroup
```
Replace <your-unique-keyvault-name> with a name that's unique across all of Azure. You typically use your personal or company name along with other numbers and identifiers.

```
New-AzKeyVault -Name <your-unique-keyvault-name> -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Location eastus
```
