Table: azure_resource_group - Query Azure Resource Groups using SQL

Azure Resource Groups are essential components of Azure Resource Management, serving as logical containers for resources deployed within an Azure subscription. They provide a way to monitor, control access, provision and manage billing for collections of assets, which are required to run an application, or used by a department or a team. Azure Resource Groups offer a means to manage and organize resources based on lifecycles and application architecture, along with providing access control, consistency, and efficiency.
