Registering Azure resource providers

A resource provider is a set of Azure REST operations that enable functionality for a specific Azure service. Registration configures your Azure subscriptions to work with resource providers.

Most resource providers are auto-registered and some need to be manually registered. In some cases, resource providers must be re-registered to support new locations that you may need to use.

Register the following resource providers for the Azure subscriptions that Turbonomic will manage:

  • Microsoft.Compute

  • Microsoft.Capacity

  • Microsoft.Sql

To register resource providers, follow the registration steps in the Azure documentation.

Note:

If you do not register these resource providers, you might notice certain errors in the Turbonomic logs, as documented in this Azure page.
