Azure Tags are a part of the Azure Resource Manager that are used to track,
manage, and
group your resources and analyze their costs. Also, tagging helps automate
resource
deployments in your Azure environment. You can apply tags to your Azure
resources to
logically organize them by category. Tags are useful for sorting, searching,
organizing and
analyzing your resources.
Example that shows how to add tags for a resource group in the Azure
portal:

Things to know about resource Tags
● Each resource tag has a name and a value.
● You could have the tag name Server and the value Production or
Development.
● The tag name is constant for all resources to which the tag applies.
● The tag value can be selected from a defined set of values or unique to a
particular
resource instance.
● Azure currently supports up to 50 tags per resource and resource group.
● Tags can be placed on a resource during creation or added to an existing
resource.
● Tags applied to a resource group are not inherited by resources within
resource group.
You need to consider a few things when using resource tags
● Searching on tag data: Search for resources in your membership by
querying on tag
name and value.
● Finding relevant resources: Retrieve related resources from other
resource groups by
searching on tag name or value.
● Billing Group Data: Group resources such as virtual machines by cost
center and
production environment.
● Tags are created with PowerShell or Azure CLI: Create multiple resource
tags
programmatically by using Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI.

A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure
solution. A resource
group stores metadata about resources. A resource group can contain all the
resources for a
solution or only the resources you want to manage as a group.
For managing Azure resource groups, there are three ways
● Manage resource groups by using Azure portal - Azure Resource Manager
● Manage Azure resource groups by using Azure CLI
● Manage Azure resource groups by using Azure PowerShell

An Azure subscription is a logical unit of Azure services linked to an Azure
account.
An Azure account is an identity in Microsoft Entra ID or a directory trusted by
Microsoft Entra ID,
for example, a work or school account.

Subscriptions help you manage access to Azure cloud service resources and
help you control
how resource usage is reported, billed, and paid for.
Characteristics of Azure Subscriptions are as follows:
● Each Azure cloud service belongs to a subscription
● Each subscription has a different billing and payment configuration.
● You can link more than one Azure account to a single Azure subscription.
● you can link Multiple subscriptions to a single Azure account
● Billing for Azure services is on a per-subscription basis.
● Programmatic operations for the cloud service may require a subscription
ID.
● If your Azure account is the only account associated with the subscription,
you are
responsible for billing requirements.
Azure offers free and paid subscription options to meet different needs and
requirements.
