Hybrid Cloud and Azure subscriptions and resource groups

Question

I have got some questions regarding cloud best practices:

1. Can I put in an Azure Subscription, objects coming from different regions? eg. North Europe, West Europe...
2. Can a subscription span multiple clouds? E.g.: Azure, Amazon...
3. Can an Azure resource group contain objects from different regions?
4. Can a Resource Group span multiple clouds? E.g.: Azure, Amazon...

Answer 1

1. Yes, you can have resources from multiple regions in an Azure subscription, but it is up to you if you want to segregate subscriptions based on region or not. I personally segregate subscriptions based on environments (dev, qa, prod).

2. No, Azure subscriptions are for resources only in Azure.

3. No, resource groups should only contain resources from the same region as that resource group. Resource groups should only contain resources that share the same lifecycle and should be updated/deleted all together.

4. No, same as subscriptions, Azure only.
