Azure Subscriptions
● An Azure Subscription is the basic unit where all resources are contained. It also
defines several limits with in Azure, such as number of cores, resources, etc.

subscriptions per account. Azure records billing information at the subscription
level.resources like virtual machines or virtual networks exists in one of those
subscriptions.

Deployment Models
Classic Deployment Models
● Azure originally provided only the classic deployment model. In this model each
resource existed independently, There was no way to group related resources
together instead, you had to manually track which resources made up your
solution or application and remember to manage them in a coordinated
approach.
Resource Manager
● In 2014 Azure introduced Resource Manager which added the concept of a
resource group. A resource group is a container for resources that share a
common lifecycle the Resource Manager deployment model provides several
benefits.
○ You can deploy, manage, and monitor all the services for your solution as
a group.
○ You can apply access control to all resources in your resource group.
○ You can apply tags to resources to logically organize all the resources in
your subscription.
● For virtual machines, storage accounts and virtual networks, if the resource was
created through classic deployment, you must continue to operate on it through
classic operations.
● If the virtual machine, storage account or virtual networks was created through
Resource Manager deployment, you must continue using Resource Manager
Operations.
