2.3 Azure Resource Providers

00:01

Let's talk about the actual research providers.

00:05

Each Asher service implements their own resource provider.

00:12

The lease is provided implementation. Miss. Comply with the arm requirements.

00:16

You can consider this the contract between the service and any external clients.

00:22

The reserves provider implements all business logic that this applicable for that particular service.

00:28

One example could be that Windows Virtual machines cannot have names longer than 15 characters.

00:34

Another one is that azure storage account names can only use letters and numbers and so on.

00:40

The resource provider also implements the AP eyes for the service that, once again forced three guidelines to ensure consistency. Between service is.

00:51

Here is a list of resource providers and how they map to each as your service.

00:58

The documentation is pretty extensive.

01:00

If you click on the left side on Rest Resource Manager, you'll find complete documentation of the rest. AP Eyes for resource manager,

01:08

including each resource provider.

01:11

Let's find out how to power off a virtual machine using the rest ap ice,

01:17

so you need to find the

01:19

compute

01:23

resource providing you click on Compute.

01:26

That is the virtual machine resource.

01:30

You click on virtual machine and you find powered off

01:34

This is the rest call that you need to make in orderto power off the virtual machine.

01:42

Let's look at the rest a p i n point structure

01:47

using the virtual machine power off rest. Cough us example. Here is how the Resco is structured.

01:53

You kept posed us tomato.

01:57

Next, you have the Ascher Resource Manager

02:01

and Point,

02:02

which is always http. Colon slash slash management daughter jules dot com

02:08

After that force, the resource identifier,

02:13

the resource identifier has occurred article structure, and it is always the same. It starts with subscriptions, the subscription i D. Then resource groups, the name of the resource group

02:24

providers,

02:27

actual resource provider and then the resource, and some identifier for the resource.

02:34

For example, if you need to identify a Sequels database server resource, you can easily build identifier. You will always start with the subscription, the subscription I D. The name of the resource group

02:46

and the providers. However, you need to change the provider from Microsoft dot compute to Microsoft DOT sequel.

02:54

Then you will have a sequel server, and then you have the name of the sequel server.

03:00

Quite simple schema. That is easy to remember

03:02

when performing actions on the resource is like power off.

03:07

You got the action at the end. You can see how this is done in the U. L.

03:14

The last one is the A P I version that you want to use for the rest. Call

03:19

the A P I version is specified. That's a query string. Part of matter.

03:23

Keep in mind that the FBI version is important because certain operations may not be available in order a p I versions.

03:35

You can always find the AP I version. If you go to the arm, rest reference and look at the top of the page.

03:45

Make sure that you remember the structure of the resource identifier in the FBI version because you won't need those when you develop arm templates for automation
