Municipal finance needs a clear Azure billing and access boundary for each department so invoices and spending limits stay separate. Which Azure construct provides that account-level billing unit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When finance wants a hard wall between department bills, reach for a subscription. Resource groups tidy resources; they do not replace the invoice boundary. One subscription per department keeps spending and access scoped where the ledger expects it.
Full Explanation
An Azure subscription is the account-level unit that associates resources with billing and often with access boundaries. Resource groups sit inside a subscription and organize resources; they do not replace the subscription as the billing container. Departments that need separate invoices and spending controls are commonly mapped to separate subscriptions.
