What is Azure Resource Manager
Introduction In Azure, the deployment and management services come under the Azure Resource Manager (ARM). If you can create, update, and delete resources in your Azure account, it's because of ARM, which provides a management layer for all these functionalities. You can also use other management features like locks, tags, and access control. Using these features, you can organize and secure your resources after deployment. Benefits of Azure Resource Manager The primary benefit of an ARM is that it uses declarative templates instead of scripts to manage your infrastructure. It has other benefits like•
It prevents individual handling of resources; you can monitor, deploy, and manage all the resources for your solution as a group.
•
It gives you confidence for the consistent deployment of resources and redeploys your solution throughout the development lifecycle.
•
It helps deploy resources and defines the dependencies between resources.
•
As Azure role-based access control (RBAC) is integrated into the management platform using Azure Resource Manager, you can easily access control to all services.
•
It applies tags to the resources to organize all the resources.
Difference between Classic Deployment and Resource Manager Item Virtual Networks
Availability Sets
Resource Manager Classic Deployment When a Virtual machine requires It's optional for the virtual machine in a virtual network, the Resource Classic Deployment. Manager has to deploy it. Microsoft Compute Provider Configuring the same exposes resources called the "AvailabilitySetName" on the Virtual Availability Set. This includes Machine will indicate the availability those Virtual Machines which of the platform. need high availability.
Cloud Service for Virtual Creating a Virtual Machine with For holding virtual machines, Cloud Machines the help of a new model Cloud Service works as a container. Service is not required. Virtual IP Address In Resource Manager, public IP When a VM gets added to a cloud addresses can be dynamic or service, the Cloud Services gets a static (reserved). default VIP (Virtual IP Address). Storage Accounts To store its disks in blob storage, A virtual machine needs a storage the virtual machine requires a account to store the virtual hard storage account. disks. Affinity Groups When APIs are exposed through For creating Virtual Networks, Azure Resource Manager, the Affinity Groups were needed. Affinity Groups concept doesn't exist. Load Balancing It's like a resource that Microsoft For the Virtual Machines deployed, exposes. Network provider. creating a Cloud Service gives an implicit load balancer.
How to Move Resources in Azure? There are three different ways to move resources in Azure1. Across Resource Groups or Subscriptions It's possible to move your Azure resources to another resource group or Azure subscription. You can use Azure PowerShell, Azure portal, Azure CLI, or the REST API for the movement of resources. 2. Using Resource Mover
Using Azure Resource Mover, you can move resources to a different region. A resource mover has the following major functionalities• •
A single hub is allowed to move resources across regions for moving resources across regions. The movement of different types of Azure resources is done consistently.
3. Across Regions In Azure geographies, you can see two or more Azure regions containing multiple data centers and Availability Zones within Azure geography.
