A Subscription in Azure is a logical container into which any number of resources (Virtual Machines, Web Apps, Storage Accounts, etc) can be deployed. It can also be used for coarse-grained access control to these resources, though the correct approach these days is to leverage Role Based Access Control (RBAC) or Management Groups.
