Resource Manager

Introduction

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is the deployment and management layer for Azure resources. It lets you create, query, and organize resources through a consistent control-plane API. ARM is commonly used to manage resource groups, deployments, and provider registrations.

LocalStack for Azure allows you to build and test Resource Manager workflows in your local environment. The supported APIs are available on our API Coverage section, which provides information on the extent of Resource Manager’s integration with LocalStack.

Getting started

This guide is designed for users new to Resource Manager and assumes basic knowledge of the Azure CLI and our azlocal wrapper script.

Start your LocalStack container using your preferred method. Then start CLI interception:

azlocal start_interception

Create a resource group

Create a resource group:

az group create \
  --name rg-resources-demo \
  --location westeurope

Output

{
  "name": "rg-resources-demo",
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-resources-demo",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "properties": {
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
  },
  "..."
}

Get and list resource groups

Get the resource group details:

az group show --name rg-resources-demo

Output

{
  "name": "rg-resources-demo",
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-resources-demo",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "properties": {
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
  },
  "..."
}

List matching resource groups:

az group list --query "[?name=='rg-resources-demo']"

Output

[
  {
    "name": "rg-resources-demo",
    "location": "westeurope",
    "..."
  }
]

Query resource providers

Get a specific provider:

az provider show --namespace Microsoft.Resources

Output

{
  "namespace": "Microsoft.Resources",
  "registrationState": "Registered",
  "registrationPolicy": "RegistrationFree",
  "resourceTypes": [
    {
      "resourceType": "resourceGroups",
      "apiVersions": ["2023-07-01", "..."],
      "..."
    }
    ...
  ],
  "..."
}

List provider registration state:

az provider list --query "[?namespace=='Microsoft.Resources'].{namespace:namespace,registrationState:registrationState}"

Output

[
  {
    "namespace": "Microsoft.Resources",
    "registrationState": "Registered"
  }
]
