# Azure Subscription 💢

Whenever we create any resources a subscription needs to be provided from where money gets deducted, provided it is not a free account.

# Resource Group 🥢

A resource group is like a bag. Whenever we create anything in azure it needs to be put in a resource group.

In the above diagram we have 3 resource group (Dev, UAT and Prod) and each resource group have some VMs.

Suppose I want to delete all the VMs in Dev resource group. All I do is just delete the Dev resource groups are deleted, rather than deleting them one by one.
