Organizing Resources with Resource Groups

Once you've set up your Azure subscription, the next step is to organize your resources. This is where Azure Resource Groups come in.

An Azure Resource Group is a collection of resources that share the same lifecycle. Resources in a resource group are deployed, updated, and deleted together. You can think of it like a project folder that contains all the necessary files for a specific task.

The Purpose of Azure Resource Groups

• Simplified management: by grouping related resources together, you can manage them as a unit. For example, if you want to delete all resources associated with a particular project, you can delete the entire resource group instead of deleting each individual resource;
• Access control: Azure allows you to apply role-based access control (RBAC) at the resource group level. This means you can assign specific permissions to users or groups to access or manage all resources within a group. For instance, you might allow a developer to manage resources in the "Development" resource group but restrict access to the "Production" group;
• Resource Organization: Resource groups allow you to logically organize resources according to the stage of your project, such as development, testing, and production environments.
