Module 2 - Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Overview

Benefits of Azure Resource Manager (ARM) • • • Desired-state deployment Faster deployments Role-based access control (RBAC) Resource-provider model Common interface for Azure and Azure Stack

ARM Definitions • Resource - Atomic unit of deployment • Resource group - Collection of resources • Resource provider - Manages specific kinds of resources • Resource type - Specifies the type of resource

Resource Groups A Resource Group is a Unit of Management • • • Application Lifecycle Containment – Deployment, update, delete and status Declarative solution for Deployment – “Config as Code” Grouping – Metering, billing, quote: applied and rolled up to the group Consistent Management Layer Access Control – Scope for RBAC permissions

Azure Resource Groups • Tightly coupled containers of multiple resources of similar or different types • Resource groups can span regions RESOURCE GROUP • Every resource *must* exist in one and only one resource group

Resource Group Lifecycle Question: Should these resources be in the same group or a different one? Hint: Do they have common lifecycle and management? Answer: It’s up to you.

Organizational Concepts Resource groups Tags • Tightly coupled to a container of resources • Loosely coupled user or system defined categorization • Follows RBAC rules • Arbitrary boundaries • 1 resource group at a time • 15 tags to use as needed Resource groups and tags are the building blocks from which users define applications.

Deployment Templates SQL-A Website What? Instantiation of repeatable config. Configuration Resource Group [SQL CONFIG] VM (2 x) • Source file, can be checked-in • Specifies resources, dependencies and connections • Parameterized input/output DEPENDS ON SQL Why? • Ensure Idempotency SQL - A • Simplify orchestration • Provide cross-resource configuration and update support SQL CONFIG Website Virtual Machines

Module 2 - Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Resource Providers

Resource Providers • Used to deploy specific types of resources • Identified by provider namespace • e. g. , Microsoft. Compute, Microsoft. Storage, Microsoft. Web (~25 Microsoft or Customer namespaces) • Resource types • • Each provider namespace manages one or more resource types: e. g. , virtual. Machines Different regional availability and api. Versions • Power. Shell • • Get-Azure. Location Get-Azure. RMResource. Provider

Resource Provider Types (examples) Resource Type Usage Microsoft. Compute/virtual. Machines Virtual Machines (VMs) ~ (V 2) Microsoft. Storage/storage. Accounts Storage accounts (V 2) Microsoft. Compute/availability. Sets Microsoft. Network/network. Interfaces Virtual network interface card (NIC) Microsoft. Network/load. Balancers Azure Load Balancer or Internal Load Balancer Microsoft. Network/virtual. Networks Virtual networks (V 2) Microsoft. Classic. Storage V 1 storage – not managed by ARM Microsoft. Classic. Compute V 1 VMs – not managed by ARM Many more!

How do I know what resources providers are available?

How can I see what Resource Providers are in use in my subscription? https: //resources. azure. com

Resource Definition • Name • Unique for resource group and resource type (e. g. , Microsoft. Compute/virtual. Machines) • Id • • Unique across Azure /subscriptions/GUID/resource. Groups/my. RG/providers/Microsoft. Compute/virtual. Machines/vm. Name • Location • Resource. Type • Resource. Group • Properties • Additional properties specific to the resource provider
