What is the best way to view the creation date and time of resources in an Azure resource group?

The best way to view the creation date and time of resources in an Azure resource group is through the Deployments blade. This blade provides detailed information about the resources deployed in a resource group, including timestamps for each deployment. When resources are created within a resource group, Azure logs this activity, allowing users to track not just what was deployed but also when it was deployed.

The Deployments blade displays a list of all past deployments, which typically includes metadata such as the user who initiated the deployment, the deployment status, and importantly, the creation date and time associated with each deployment. This makes it a crucial tool for managing and auditing deployments within Azure, as it provides visibility into the lifecycle of resources.

In contrast, while the Subscriptions blade can provide an overview of resources and their statuses, it does not give detailed information about individual resource creation dates. The Automation script option relates more to the automation of resource deployment rather than tracking deployment history. Lastly, although the Resource group blade displays essential information about the resource group itself, it generally does not include creation timestamps for individual resources, which are best investigated through the Deployments blade.
