-
-Required: Use a "<verb> * <noun>" format for your H1. Pick an H1 that clearly conveys the task the user will complete.

-For example: "Migrate data from regular tables to ledger tables" or "Create a new Azure SQL Database".
-
-* Include only a single H1 in the article.

+This article outlines how to create and configure your Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise cache nodes. The creation and configuration of your cache node takes place in Azure portal. The deployment of your cache node requires downloading an installer script that will need to be run on your cache server.
 
 ## Prerequisites
+1. **Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscription**: Microsoft Connected Cache is a completely free-of-charge service hosted in Azure. You'll need to have a Pay-As-You-Go subscription in order to onboard to our service. To create a subscription, go to [Pay-As-You-Go subscription page](https://azure.microsoft.com/offers/ms-azr-0003p/).
+2. **Hardware to host MCC**: The recommended configuration serves approximately 35,000 managed devices, downloading a 2-GB payload in 24-hour timeframe at a sustained rate of 6.5 Gbps.
+For more information on sizing and OS requirements, please visit [Host OS Requirement]()
 
-TODO: List the prerequisites
+## Create MCC resource
 
-<!-- 4. Task H2s ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# [Azure CLI](#tab/cli)
 
-Required: Multiple procedures should be organized in H2 level sections. A section contains a major grouping of steps that help users complete a task. Each section is represented as an H2 in the article.
+### Prerequisites
 
-For portal-based procedures, minimize bullets and numbering.
+* An Azure CLI environment:
 
-* Each H2 should be a major step in the task.
-* Phrase each H2 title as "<verb> * <noun>" to describe what they'll do in the step.
-* Don't start with a gerund.
-* Don't number the H2s.
-* Begin each H2 with a brief explanation for context.
-* Provide a ordered list of procedural steps.
-* Provide a code block, diagram, or screenshot if appropriate
-* An image, code block, or other graphical element comes after numbered step it illustrates.
-* If necessary, optional groups of steps can be added into a section.
-* If necessary, alternative groups of steps can be added into a section.
+  * Use the Bash environment in [Azure Cloud Shell](../cloud-shell/quickstart.md).

+    * Install Azure CLI extension **mcc** by following the instructions [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/azure-cli-extensions-overview#how-to-install-extensions).
 
-Optional: You have two options for manually curated links in this pattern: Next step and Related content. You don't have to use either, but don't use both.
-  - For Next step, provide one link to the next step in a sequence. Use the blue box format
-  - For Related content provide 1-3 links. Include some context so the customer can determine why they would click the link. Add a context sentence for the following links.
+    * Resource group under which an MCC resource can be created. Use the [az group create](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/group?view=azure-cli-latest#az-group-create) command to create a new Resource group if you don't already have one.
 
--->
+Replace the following placeholders with your own information:
+* *\<resource-group>*: An existing resource group in your subscription.
+* *\<mcc-resource-name>*: A name for your Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise resource.

+
+1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), select **Create a Resource** and search for "Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education".
+
+2. Select Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise resource. When prompted, choose the subscription, resource group, and location for the resource. Also, enter a name for the resource and click Review + Create.
+
+3. After a few moments, you'll see a "Validation successful" message, indicating you can move onto the next step and select Create.
+
+4. The creation of the resource may take a few minutes. After a successful creation, you'll see a Deployment complete page as below. Select Go to resource to create cache nodes.
