Azure resource groups

Question

Hi people;

I am preparing the Az-900 exam and i have a question.

As we know, an application can be part of several resources group. 

i.e:

Application A is part of resource group B and Resource group C.

After we make a change to the resource group B, it will affect application A which is part of the resource group. Will it also change the application A in resource group C?

Thank you for your explanation.

Hi @Thierry Kadji

Thank you for reaching us!

In response to your question, it's a No. Resource groups are used to organize and manage Azure resources.

A resource group contain logics that holds related resources for an Azure solution. the resource group does not define or enforce any dependency or relation between resource.

With your example, the application A can use both resource group B & C, if the changes will apply to resource group B that will only affects the resources within the resource group.

The resources within the resource group C will not affect by the changes made to resource group B. So, the application A does not change in the resource group C.

Each resource group is isolated from other resource groups. which means that changes made to one resource group will not affect resources in other resource groups.

conclusion: changing one resource group does not affect the other resource groups or the resources within them.
