Built around the idea of resource providers

  • Think about Azure as a big cloud service that is made up of resource providers

  • You have Virtual Machines, Disk, Images, Snapshots, etc..

    • These are defined within the Computer resource provider

    • There is also a Billing resource provider as another example

  • An Azure VM is made up of 5 resources

    • VM, NSG, Network Interface, Disk, and Public IP Address

      • These are all its' own resources with their own access controls, tags, activity log, etc

  • With ARM, it doesn't matter if you are using Powershell, the Azure Portal, REST API.. it does not matter since they all communicate with ARM

  • You can create a JSON file, which is declarative, to quickly spin up resources with ARM

  • BICEP is a more friendly JSON file
