AZ-900 - Describe Azure Architecture and Services - Section 2.1

Describe the core architectural components of Azure including regions, availability zones, resources, resource groups, subscriptions, and management groups.

Describe how Azure organises its global infrastructure into regions, region pairs, and availability zones, and explain how resources, resource groups, subscriptions, and management groups form a hierarchy for organising and governing workloads. Apply this hierarchy to determine the correct scope for applying policies, budgets, or access controls.

Do Azure management groups sit above subscriptions in the management hierarchy?

AYes Correct
BNo

Hierarchy order: management groups, then subscriptions, then resource groups, then resources. Management groups sit above subscriptions, and governance conditions applied to a management group inherit to all subscriptions within it.

Why A is correct: Correct. Management groups sit above subscriptions, and governance conditions applied to a management group inherit to all subscriptions within it.

Why B is wrong: Answering No reverses the hierarchy; subscriptions sit below management groups, not above them.
