Management groups, subscriptions, and resource groups are where governance actually happens, everything else is deployed within that structure.
Entra ID governs both human sign-in and workload authentication, the security foundation everything else sits behind.
Virtual Networks, subnets, and Network Security Groups determine what's reachable from where before any workload is deployed.
With identity and networking decisions made, pick the right compute model, VMs, App Service, or AKS, for the actual workload.
Blob, File, and Disk storage cover different access patterns compute workloads depend on, each with its own redundancy trade-offs.
Once compute and storage are running, Azure Monitor and KQL are what let you understand and debug what's actually happening in production.
