Resource Group

A resource group is a logical container into which Azureresources like web apps, databases,and storage accounts are deployed and managed. For example, you can chooseto delete the entire resource group in one simple step later.

App Service Plan

An App Service plan specifies the location, size, and features of the web server farm that hosts your app. You can save money when hosting multiple apps by configuring the web apps to share a single App Service plan.

App Service plans define:

1. Region (for example: North Europe,East US, or Southeast Asia)
2. Instance size(small, medium, or large)
3. Scale count (1 to 20 instances)
4. SKU (Free,Shared, Basic,Standard, or Premium)
