You've learned how to group and organize subscriptions and resources, how to enforce policies and all the best practices to ensure that you do so effectively and without breaking your system, and how to create consistent and repeatable environments. We know that it is not easy to find a way through this jungle of options, but when you stop, think, plan, act, and repeat, you will be on a good path to finding what fits your needs perfectly.
