Types of Operations in Azure

  • These are used elsewhere like in azure governance
    • So in RBAC what azure roles apply to which plane - control or data
    • Someone might not have access to manage a VM, but they might have access to login to the OS

Control Plane

  • To manage resource in Azure
  • In [[202406151100 How to interact with Azure|How to interact with Azure]], everything goes through ARM
    • All requests go to a resource manager url
    • ARM knows what exists and what does not exist and does not create duplicate resources

Data Plane

  • To access features exposed by the resource
  • Requests go to specific endpoint for the Azure resource
