* Create an `affinity group`_ if you don't already have one. Supply it in quotes with the ``--affinity-group`` parameter. Although *using an affinity group is not mandatory*, it is **highly recommended** since it tells the Azure fabric to place all VMs in the cluster physically close to each other, reducing inter-node latency by a great deal. If you don't want to use affinity groups, specify a `region`_ for Azure to use with a ``--location`` parameter. The default is ``"West US"``. If you specify both parameters, ``location`` will be ignored. Please note that the script *will not* create an affinity group by itself; it expects the affinity group exists.
