Azure resource and azure resource group are the two most commonly used terms while working with Microsoft azure. Recently one of the readers asked me about the difference between these two terms, so I have decided to write a post on these two terms.

What is Resource?

The resource is nothing but an Azure service such as app service, Azure storage, azure active directory, etc. It means whenever you create a new resource, you are actually creating the azure service.

What is Azure Resource Group?

The Azure resource group is the collection of resources, the resource group is the container in which multiple azure services reside.

Every Azure service must be located in the resource group. The Resource group gives better flexibility to manage the life cycle of all services at one place, which is located in the resource group. You can deploy, update and delete these services together.

#azure #resource #resource group
