 Each Azure VMware Solution architectural component has the following function:
 
-- **Azure Subscription**: Provides controlled access, budget, and quota management for the Azure VMware Solution.
-- **Azure Region**: Groups datacenters into availability zones and then groups availability zones into regions.
-- **Azure Resource Group**: Places Azure services and resources into logical groups.
-- **Azure VMware Solution Private Cloud**: Offers compute, networking, and storage resources by using VMware software, including vCenter Server, NSX software-defined networking, vSAN software-defined storage, and Azure bare-metal ESXi hosts. Azure NetApp Files, Azure Elastic SAN, and Pure Cloud Block Store are also supported.
-- **Azure VMware Solution Resource Cluster**: Provides compute, networking, and storage resources for customer workloads by scaling out the Azure VMware Solution private cloud by using VMware software, including vSAN software-defined storage and Azure bare-metal ESXi hosts. Azure NetApp Files, Azure Elastic SAN, and Pure Cloud Block Store are also supported.
