Resource Groups

• Provides a management service for your resources in Azure.

• Before any resource can be provisioned, you need a resource group for it to be placed in.

• Has a location, or region, as it stores metadata about the resources

• Each resource must exist in only one resource group.

• A resource group can contain resources that reside in different regions.

• Decide how you want to allocate resources to resource groups based on what makes the most sense for your organization.

• Add/remove/move a resource to a resource group at any time.

• Resources for an application do not need to exist in the same resource group. However, it is recommended that you keep them in the same resource group for ease of management.

• If you delete a resource group, all resources contained within are also deleted.

• Can apply role-based access control (RBAC) permissions - ease administration and limit access to allow only what is needed (least privilege).
