Create and configure Azure ExpressRoute

In the following exercise, we will explore the creation of an ExpressRoute circuit. We will only emulate the deployment as it typically includes involvement from a provider with a corresponding circuit configuration at the edge to join Azure:

1. Create a resource group named AZ104-ExpressRoute in West Europe.
