# Creating an Edge Service

To create an edge service, proceed as follows:

1. Access [Azion Console](/en/documentation/guides/platform/account-and-billing/how-to-access-azion-console/) > **Edge Services**.
2. Click on the **+ Service** button.
3. Give a name for your service.
4. Define the variables, if necessary.
   - The variables must be in the format `Variable = Value`.
5. Click the **Save** button.
6. Go to the **Resources** tab.
7. Click the **+ Resource** button.
8. Provide the path where the resource will be saved on the edge node.
9. Select the type of resource: **Text** or **Shell Script**.
10. In case of selecting **Shell Script**, configure the resources you need for your service, using the triggers: **Install**, **Reload**, and **Uninstall**.
11. Add the content of the resource.
12. Click the **Save** button.

Done. Now your service can use one or more edge nodes.
