Azure provides four levels of management: management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources. Resource Groups are used to [organize your Azure resources more effectively]([https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-setup-guide/organize-resources](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-setup-guide/organize-resources). If you are applying the RHEL 7 ELS offer to VM’s within a Resource Group, Azure prompts you for the name of the Resource Group. The offer is applied to each of the RHEL 7 ELS VM’s within it.
