When creating and placing resources within resource groups there are a few considerations: Each resource must exist in one, and only one, resource group. A resource group can contain resources that reside in different regions. You decide how you want to allocate resources to resource groups based on what makes the most sense for your organization. You can add or remove a resource to a resource group at any time. You can move a resource from one resource group to another. Resources for an application do not need to exist in the same resource group. However, it is recommended that you keep them in the same resource group for ease of management.

Availability Zones are primarily for VMs, managed disks, load balancers, and SQL databases. Azure services that support Availability Zones fall into two categories:

Zonal services - you pin the resource to a specific zone (for example, virtual machines, managed disks, IP addresses) Zone-redundant services - platform replicates automatically across zones (for example, zone-redundant storage, SQL Database).
