Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Resources, Resource Groups, Subscriptions, and Management Groups

An administrator claims that a single Azure resource group can contain resources that belong to multiple Azure subscriptions to simplify management. Is this claim true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
Every Azure resource group is bound to a single Azure subscription. Therefore, it is impossible for resources belonging to different subscriptions to reside in the same resource group.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the relationship between Azure resource groups and subscriptions.
A resource group is defined inside a specific subscription.
Subscriptions represent logical billing and access boundaries in Azure, and resource groups are created within them.
2
Determine if resources in a resource group can be linked to different subscriptions.
All resources in a resource group must belong to that single resource group's subscription.
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) enforces a strict hierarchy where resources reside in resource groups, which in turn reside in a single subscription.
