Azure Resource Hierarchy

Azure Resource Hierarchy organizes cloud components into a structured framework, making management easier. At the top is the **Azure Tenant**, representing a company's overall account. Within it are **Management Groups**, which group related subscriptions. Each **Subscription** contains resources like virtual machines, databases, and services. This hierarchy helps organizations control access, monitor costs, and apply policies consistently across multiple projects and teams. Think of it as a folder system: the tenant is the entire company, management groups are departmental folders, subscriptions are individual project folders, and resources are the files inside.
