Resource Concepts

Resource

A manageable item that is available through Azure. Resources include: virtual machines, storage accounts, web apps, databases, virtual networks, resource groups, subscriptions, management groups, tags, etc.

Resource Group

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/overview#resource-groups

A container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group includes resources that should be managed as a group, in respect to the lifecycle, permissions and policies - all of the resources in a resource group share the same lifecycle, permissions and policies. The resource group metadata is stored in a certain location that is specified upon resource group creation. Note that a resource group does not seem to be aware of its members, while the member have a relationship with their group, via the "resourceGroup" element of their state.

Each resource can exist in only one resource group, but a resource can be moved to a different resource group.

Deleting a resource group removes all member resources, so this is potentially dangerous.
