Why HDInsight cluster can use a storage account in another resource group?

Question

I'm creating one HDInsight cluster in resource group1, but when choosing the storage, it turns out that I can use a storage account in another resource group.

But as far as I know, all resources (including HDInsight) should be bound to only one resource group.

So how is that the HDInight cluster could reach a storage account that is not the same as itself?

Answer 1

This is a false statement - But as far as I know, all resources (including HDInsight) should be bound to only one resource group.

When you using Azure HDInsight - You can use Storage account which can be different Resource Group.

Note: The Azure HDInsight cluster is in the same location as the default storage.
