In this post series, we will discuss the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and how you can use it to control and organize your Azure resources.

The main purpose of ARM is to control and organize your resources in Azure. It gives you features that you can use to organize resources, enforce standards, and protect critical Azure resources from accidental deletion. What are these features?

  • Resource groups – to organize Azure resources
  • Tags – to organize resources
  • Policies – to enforce standards in your Azure environments
  • Resource locks – to protect critical Azure resources from accidental deletion

  • Unique name
  • the type of resource it is

Examples will be prod-vnet, sap-db
