Azure Application Insights displays data about your application in a Microsoft Azure *resource*. Creating a new resource is therefore part of [setting up Application Insights to monitor a new application][start]. In many cases, creating a resource can be done automatically by the IDE. But in some cases, you create a resource manually - for example, to have separate resources for development and production builds of your application.

After you have created the resource, you get its instrumentation key and use that to configure the SDK in the application. The resource key links the telemetry to the resource.
