az group manages Azure resource groups, which are logical containers for Azure resources. All resources in Azure must belong to a resource group, and groups provide a way to organize, manage, and apply policies to related resources.
Resource groups define the lifecycle scope for resources; deleting a group deletes all contained resources. Groups also provide a scope for role-based access control (RBAC) and policy assignments.

Resource group names must be unique within a subscription and can contain only alphanumeric characters, periods, underscores, hyphens, and parentheses. Deleting a resource group is irreversible and removes all contained resources. The group's location is metadata only; resources can be in different regions.

Resource groups have been fundamental to Azure Resource Manager (ARM) since its introduction in 2014, replacing the classic deployment model. They provide the organizational foundation for Azure's role-based access control and policy management.
