Managing Azure Cloud Services as part of a Resource Group

Question

I have several App Services, and storage accounts set up in Azure. We have a Resource Group, which is a handy way to bundle together all the services and storage - for example, for tracking billing (other teams use the same subscription).

Now, I want to add a new Cloud Service, and have it included in the Resource Group. But then I see the Cloud Service listed at the same level as Resource Groups, which makes no sense.

Is it possible to include Cloud Services inside a Resource Groups, along with our App Services - and if not, what's the rationale?

Answer 1

Currently azure cloud services( web roles and worker roles) are not part of the Azure resource manager feature. Hence you cannot add a cloud service to a resource group. This is a requested feature in the azure feedback portal. You can go add your comments and cast your vote.
