[Azure CLI](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) is required to deploy the Azure Arc resource bridge. When deploying Arc resource bridge with a corresponding partner product, the Azure CLI commands may be combined into an automation script, along with additional provider-specific commands. To learn about installing Arc resource bridge with a corresponding partner product, see:

Creates the configuration files used by Arc resource bridge. Credentials that are provided during `createconfig`, such as vCenter credentials for VMware vSphere, are stored in a configuration file and locally within Arc resource bridge. These credentials should be a separate user account used only by Arc resource bridge, with permission to view, create, delete, and manage on-premises resources. If the credentials change, then the credentials on the resource bridge should be rotated.

The `createconfig` command features two modes: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive mode provides helpful prompts that explain the parameter and what to pass. To initiate interactive mode, pass only the three required parameters. Non-interactive mode allows you to pass all the parameters needed to create the configuration files without being prompted, which saves time and is useful for automation scripts. Three configuration files are generated: resource.yaml, appliance.yaml and infra.yaml. These files should be kept and stored in a secure location, as they're required for maintenance of Arc resource bridge.

Once the `create` command initiates the connection, it will return in the terminal even though the connection between the ARM resource and on-premises appliance VM is not yet complete.
