Tenant and subscription are two related concepts in Azure that are used to manage your resources. A tenant is a collection of resources that you manage as a single entity.

A subscription is a contract that you create with Azure to manage a specific type of resource. For example, you can create a subscription to manage a set of resources in the cloud, or you can create a subscription to manage your on-premises resources.
