Subscription Governance

• 3 main aspects for creating and managing subscriptions:

  • Billing: - Reports can be generated by subscriptions, if you have multiple internal departments and need to do "chargeback", a possible scenario is to create subscriptions by department or project.

  • Access Control: - Consider the deployment boundary factor, some customers have separate subscriptions for Development and Production, each one is isolated from each other from a resource perspective and managed using RBAC.

  • Subscription Limits: - Subscriptions are also bound to some hard limitations. - For example, the maximum number of Express Route circuits per subscription is 10. - Those limits should be considered during the design phase, if there is a need to go over those limits in particular scenarios, then additional subscriptions may be needed.
