+## Prerequisites
+
+- An Azure account with an active subscription. [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F).
+
+- Azure Cloud Shell or Azure CLI.
+
+    The steps in this article run the Azure CLI commands interactively in [Azure Cloud Shell](/azure/cloud-shell/overview). To run the commands in the Cloud Shell, select **Open Cloud Shell** at the upper-right corner of a code block. Select **Copy** to copy the code, and paste it into Cloud Shell to run it. You can also run the Cloud Shell from within the Azure portal.

+    You can also [install Azure CLI locally](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) to run the commands. This article requires the Azure CLI version 2.0 or later. Run [az --version](/cli/azure/reference-index#az-version) command to find the installed version. If you run Azure CLI locally, sign in to Azure using the [az login](/cli/azure/reference-index#az-login) command.
