Navigating Azure Hierarchy

As part of my cloud engineering journey, I've been diving deep into Azure architecture, and I'd love to share my experience with you.

Recently, I worked on designing an Azure hierarchy for Beysville, and I'm excited to walk you through it.

Let's break it down:

  1. Root (Tenant): The foundation of our Azure setup is the tenant, which represents Beysville's unique identity - beysville.online.

  2. Management Groups: These groups help organize subscriptions and resource groups, enabling efficient management and governance.

  3. Subscriptions: We created separate subscriptions for different departments, ensuring isolated environments for development, testing, and production.

  4. Resource Groups: Each subscription contains resource groups, which hold related resources (e.g., VMs, storage, networks).

  5. Resources: Finally, we have individual resources, such as virtual machines, databases, and storage containers

Designing this hierarchy for Beysville taught me:

  • The importance of scalable architecture

  • Effective resource organization and governance

  • Seamless collaboration between departments
