Azure Resource Manager
By Microsoft

Product Description
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is Microsoft's deployment and management service for Azure, providing a unified layer to create, update, and delete resources within your Azure account. It enables users to manage their infrastructure through declarative templates, ensuring consistent and repeatable deployments across various environments. By organizing resources into groups, ARM simplifies monitoring, access control, and billing, offering a streamlined approach to resource management. Key Features and Functionality: - Declarative Resource Deployment: Utilize ARM templates to define and deploy Azure resources in a consistent and repeatable manner, facilitating infrastructure as code practices. - Resource Grouping: Organize related resources into resource groups, allowing for collective management actions such as deployment, monitoring, and deletion. - Access Control: Implement role-based access control (RBAC) to manage permissions effectively, ensuring that only authorized users can perform specific actions on resources. - Tagging and Organization: Assign tags to resources for better categorization, aiding in cost management and operational oversight. - Consistent Management Layer: Interact with Azure resources through a consistent API, whether using the Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, or REST APIs, ensuring uniformity across management tools. Primary Value and User Solutions: Azure Resource Manager addresses the complexities of cloud resource management by providing a centralized and consistent framework. It enhances operational efficiency by enabling infrastructure as code, which leads to faster deployments and easier scalability. The ability to group resources and apply access controls ensures better security and compliance. Additionally, ARM's tagging and organizational features simplify cost tracking and resource monitoring, empowering users to manage their Azure environments more effectively.
