Resource Groups & Subscriptions & Management Groups

Resource Groups

Basically like a file structure for the Resources on Azure:

  • They are logical groupings of related things:

    • This could be by project

    • Individual people who work on that group

Subscription

Subscription is a billing unit

  • You can create multiple Subscriptions

  • As a User you have access to more subscriptions with different roles

  • All resources consumed by a subscription will be billed to the owner and has to be specified.

  • Can be used to organize resource into completely distinct accounts

  • You can use the same credit card to organize into different subscriptions

Example:

  • Each Department has it's own Subscription

  • Above that you have an account (which is a user) which is the global Administrator

Management Groups

Management Groups can be nested, meaning that you can have management groups containing management groups
