1. Use the az group create command to create a resource group:

   az group create --name KeyVault-PythonQS-rg --location eastus
   

   You can change "eastus" to a location nearer to you, if you prefer.

2. Use az keyvault create to create the key vault:

   az keyvault create --name <your-unique-keyvault-name> --resource-group KeyVault-PythonQS-rg
   

   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.

3. Create an environment variable that supplies the name of the Key Vault to the code:

   cmd

   set KEY_VAULT_NAME=<your-unique-keyvault-name>

   bash

   export KEY_VAULT_NAME=<your-unique-keyvault-name>
