What Should You Create First?

MDFT Academy wants the ability to manage the compliance of Azure resources across multiple subscriptions. The IT team is responsible for ensuring that all student and trainer applications meet regulatory and organizational standards.

Mark, who oversees IT governance at MDFT Academy, is evaluating which Azure resource should be created first to enable centralized compliance management for all educational resources. He needs to determine the initial step to take in order to manage compliance across the academy’s subscriptions.

What should be created first?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

A resource group is incorrect. While resource groups are important for organizing resources within a subscription, they cannot manage compliance across multiple subscriptions. Resource groups are containers that hold related resources for an Azure solution within a single subscription.
A management group is correct.
An Azure policy is incorrect. While Azure policies are used to enforce compliance rules, you need a management group first to effectively apply these policies across multiple subscriptions. The management group provides the governance scope above subscriptions where policies can be applied.
An Azure App Service plan is incorrect. An App Service plan defines a set of compute resources for a web app to run, but it has nothing to do with managing compliance across multiple subscriptions.
