How to tie VSTS (aka Azure DevOps) account to Azure Subscription

Question

I understand how to create a new DevOps project from https://portal.azure.com and I see how that creates a new DevOps organisation or reuses an existing one (scoped to that AzureAD). A new project is also created as well as an associated WebApps project.

These are my challenges:

1. When one creates a new Project in that DevOps organisation, it doesn't show up for management in https://portal.azure.com. How can one ensure the resources consumed by that project are part of the Azure Subscription to which the parent organisation is tied? Or is that the default?
2. What is the easiest way of tying existing DevOps organisations and projects to an Azure subscription to allow increasing the default 5 user limit and consuming more pipeline resources?

There doesn't seem to be any documentation anywhere that directly addresses these issues for me.

You may use Azure DevOps Organizations to connect your azure subscription with devops account:

Then you may use users on Azure DevOps from Azure Active Directory and manage billing (get more license):

Also you may use DevOps Project wizard to create a team project from a template:
