Resource Group

A logical container that holds related Azure resources for a solution.

A resource group is a logical container within an Azure subscription that holds related resources for one solution, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and networks. Resources in a group typically share a lifecycle, so deploying them together is easy, and deleting the group removes them all. The key exam distinction is that a resource group is a management boundary, not a billing or security boundary. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions assigned at the group level are inherited by its resources. Resource groups do not enforce spending limits; cost is tracked by subscription or tag.
