How to Get a List of All Resource Groups with Azure PowerShell

A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. It allows you to manage related resources together. You can get a list of all resource groups in your subscription using Azure PowerShell.

Here are the steps on how to get a list of all resource groups with Azure PowerShell:

1. Import the Azure cmdlets.
2. Connect to your Azure subscription.
3. Get the list of resource groups.

Import the Azure cmdlets

The Azure cmdlets are automatically loaded when you use them in PowerShell. However, if you have changed the default module autoloading settings, you may need to manually import the Azure module.

Connect to your Azure subscription

You need to authenticate with Azure before you can execute Azure commands. The Connect-AzAccount cmdlet prompts for your Azure credentials and then connects to your Azure subscription.

Get the list of resource groups

The Get-AzResourceGroup cmdlet gets a list of all resource groups in the active subscription. The following command gets a list of all resource groups:
