AZ-104 Key Concepts
Azure Resource Hierarchy
• Management Groups → Subscriptions → Resource Groups → Resources
• Management Groups: Organize and apply governance across multiple subscriptions
• Subscriptions: Billing boundary and service limits/quotas
• Resource Groups: Container for resources with same lifecycle
• Resources: Individual service instances (VMs, storage, etc.)
RBAC vs Azure Policies
• RBAC: Controls WHO can access resources and what they can do
• Azure Policy: Controls WHAT can be deployed and ensures compliance
• Use both together: RBAC for user access, Policy for resource compliance
Storage Redundancy Options
• LRS: Locally redundant storage (3 copies in single facility)
• ZRS: Zone-redundant storage (3 availability zones in one region)
• GRS: Geo-redundant storage (LRS + async replication to secondary region)
• GZRS: Geo-zone-redundant storage (ZRS + async replication to secondary region)
• RA-GRS/RA-GZRS: Read access to secondary region
