What is a Resource Group?

Definition: A Resource Group is a logical container of the related resources for an Azure solution.

• Every service you create in Azure is eventually inside a resource group.
• While creating a new resource in Azure, you must select/create a resource group first.
• The resource group itself is not a resource, it is just a container that keeps all the related resources together.
• Each resource can exist in only one resource group.
• One resource group can have resources from multiple regions.
• You can add or remove resources from the resource group at any time.
• You can move resources from one group to another group.
• You can give users access to a resource group and everything in it.
• A resource can interact with other resources in the different resource groups.
• A resource group stores metadata about the resources in it. When you specify the location of the resource group, your metadata will be stored at that location.
