Azure Fundamentals: Regions & Resource Groups
Page 1 of 1
Regions and Resource Groups
- Regions & Paired Regions: Like other clouds, Azure uses Regions (e.g., East US). Unique to Azure is the concept of Region Pairs. Each region is paired with another region in the same geography (e.g., East US & West US) to ensure that if a massive outage hits one, the other is prioritized for recovery. Updates are also rolled out to only one of the pair at a time.
- Resource Groups: This is a logical container for resources deployed on Azure. Every single resource (VM, Database, IP Address) must belong to a Resource Group. It allows you to manage the lifecycle of resources together: delete the Resource Group, and you delete everything inside it.
