Azure Subscription
A logical unit of Azure services linked to an account, used for billing and access boundaries.
An Azure subscription is a logical container that groups Azure resources together for billing and access-control purposes. Every resource — a virtual machine, a storage account, a database — belongs to exactly one subscription, and all charges for those resources roll up to that subscription’s invoice. Each subscription also trusts exactly one Microsoft Entra ID tenant for authenticating users. The exam tests the distinction from resource groups, which organize resources for lifecycle management within a subscription but create no separate billing boundary. Management groups sit one level above subscriptions, letting organizations govern multiple subscriptions together.
