Azure Subscription

Logical container for Azure resources that serves as a billing boundary and an access control boundary.

Definition

Each subscription is linked to a billing account and trusts one Entra tenant. Organizations use multiple subscriptions to separate environments, departments or billing, and to work within subscription-level limits and quotas.

Example

Separate subscriptions for production and development let finance bill each and administrators apply different policies.

Exam tip

Subscriptions are both billing and access boundaries; use them to separate environments or business units.
