An Azure Resource is an cloud platform resource managed by Azure cloud.
- Context:
- It can be managed as a single entity based on lifecycle and security.
- It can be part of a Azure Resource Group, a logical container that associates multiple resources.
- It can be associated with an Azure Subscription, a logical container that associates resource groups and their respective resources.
- It can be managed by Azure Resource Manager, such as at

- QUOTE: What is a resource group? A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you want to manage as a group. You decide how you want to allocate resources to resource groups based on what makes the most sense for your organization. Generally, add resources that share the same lifecycle to the same resource group so you can easily deploy, update, and delete them as a group. The resource group stores metadata about the resources. Therefore, when you specify a location for the resource group, you are specifying where that metadata is stored. For compliance reasons, you may need to ensure that your data is stored in a particular region.

- What is an Azure resource group? Each resource in Azure must belong to a resource group. A resource group is a logical container that associates multiple resources so you can manage them as a single entity, based on lifecycle and security. For example, you can create or delete resources as a group if the resources share a similar lifecycle, such as the resources for an n-tier application. In other words, everything that you create, manage, and deprecate together is associated within a resource group. Recommended best practice is to associate resource groups, and the resources they contain, with an Azure subscription.

- GCP accounts are containers for all GCP resources, including projects, folders, and organizations. GCP projects are containers for all GCP services, such as virtual machines, Cloud Storage buckets, and Cloud Functions.
- Azure subscriptions are containers for all Azure resources, including resource groups, storage accounts, and virtual machines. Azure resource groups are containers for related Azure resources, such as a virtual machine and its associated storage account.
- AWS accounts are containers for all AWS resources, including regions, Availability Zones, and EC2 instances. AWS regions are geographical locations where AWS resources are located. AWS Availability Zones are isolated locations within a region.
