ANS-Tagging Resources
, A logical container used to group different Azure services within it. Some things to consider
when creating a resource group is:
- Grouping resources based on lifecycle and security, could be considered a best practice.
- A resource can only belong to one resource group.
- Resource Groups can't be renamed.
- Resource Groups can contain many different types of resources or services.
- Resources that are inside of a resource group can be located in a different region.
- Resource Groups cost nothing, you can have as many or as little of them as you wish. -

to a resource group is also applied to resources in that resource group. However, you can
exclude a sub-scope from the policy assignment. - ANS-Policy Assignment
