Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Practice Exam

Can one resource be part of multiple resource groups?

1. True

2. False

The correct answer is: False

In Azure, a resource can only belong to one resource group at a time. Resource groups are used to manage resources in a cohesive way, providing a way to group related resources for easier management, billing, and access control. When you create a resource within Azure, you are required to select a resource group to contain that resource, and once assigned, the resource cannot be moved to another resource group without being deleted and recreated in the new group. This setup allows for organized management of resources, enabling users to apply policies, audits, and permissions at the resource group level, which helps in maintaining consistent organization and control over related resources. Therefore, the concept of a resource belonging to multiple resource groups is not compatible with Azure's design.
