Group Company and Azure
Hi,
Apologies if this has already been asked and answered in a previous post but I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on how to organise your Azure platform for a group company?
Do you recommend splitting them out into different subscriptions or same subscription different databases etc? how is the best way to structure?
Thanks
To organize Azure for a group company, you have two main options:
1. Separate Subscriptions:
Ideal if each company needs isolation (e.g., different costs, security, governance).
Easier to manage billing and policies for each company separately.
2. Same Subscription, Different Resource Groups:
Best if the companies share resources but need logical separation.
Helps with centralized management while still tracking costs and usage per resource group.
Use Management Groups for centralized control across multiple subscriptions if needed.
If each company operates independently, go for separate subscriptions. If they share resources, use different resource groups within the same subscription.
