Difference between resources and vm

@Prince Rathod Apologies for the delay in response and all the inconvenience caused because of the issue.

In Azure, the term resource refers to an entity managed by Azure. A manageable item that is available through Azure. Virtual machines, storage accounts, web apps, databases, and virtual networks are examples of resources. Resource groups, subscriptions, management groups, and tags are also examples of resources.

In short all the component you use in Azure are resources.

Virtual Machine is part of resources available on Azure. A virtual machine is a computer file, typically called an image, which behaves like an actual computer. In other words, creating a computer within a computer. It runs in a window, much like any other programme, giving the end user the same experience on a virtual machine as they would have on the host operating system itself. The virtual machine is sandboxed from the rest of the system, meaning that the software inside a virtual machine cannot escape or tamper with the computer itself. This produces an ideal environment for testing other operating systems including beta releases, accessing virus-infected data, creating operating system backups and running software or applications on operating systems for which they were not originally intended.

Hence resource is common term for component we use on Azure and virtual machine is one among these resource used for testing and building purpose.
