Note

The cmdlets referenced in this documentation are for managing legacy Azure resources that use Azure Service Manager (ASM) APIs. This legacy PowerShell module isn't recommended when creating new resources since ASM is scheduled for retirement. For more information, see Azure Service Manager retirement.

The Az PowerShell module is the recommended PowerShell module for managing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources with PowerShell.

Description

The New-AzureAffinityGroup cmdlet creates an Azure affinity group in the current Azure subscription.

An affinity group puts your services and their resources together in an Azure datacenter. The affinity group groups members together for optimal performance. Define affinity groups at the subscription level. Your affinity groups are available to any subsequent cloud services or storage accounts that you create. You can add services to an affinity group only when you create it.
