 ====== Azure Core ======
+  * Azure is composed of a number of different logical elements that have a container-contained relationship.
+      * There is //Azure AD//, which is the top-level construct known as the //tenant.//
+      * There are //management groups// that are contained in the tenant and can contain one or more subscriptions.
+          * There is always the built-in //root management group//, but others can be created to create a hierarchy of management groups that can be six levels deep.'
+      * Subscriptions are a billing unit.
+      * Within subscriptions there can be one or more //resource groups//, which in turn contain the individual resources, like virtual machines.
   * **Resource Groups** are logical collections of resources that share the same lifecycle. They can also serve as a scope for permissions.
