Azure Account and Subscription

  • For your applications or business needs, you need to create an Azure account, and a subscription will be created for you.
  • After you've created an Azure account, you're free to create additional subscriptions.
  • For example, your company might use a single Azure account for your business and separate subscriptions for development, marketing, and sales departments.
  • After you've created an Azure subscription, you can start creating Azure resources within each subscription.
