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.
