# Azure Resource Provider

### Overview

Some Azure services require their corresponding **Resource Providers** to be registered at the **Azure subscription** level before Terraform or Azure deployments can successfully create resources.

This guide explains how to register the required Azure Resource Providers for your Azure subscription before deploying the platform.

### Required Resource Providers

Register the following Resource Providers before deployment.

<table><thead><tr><th width="40" data-type="number"></th><th>Resource Provider</th><th>Required</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.Cache</strong></td><td>Yes</td><td>Required for Azure Cache for Redis/ Azure Managed Redis.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.Storage</strong></td><td>Yes</td><td>Required for Azure Storage Accounts.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.Web</strong></td><td>Yes</td><td>Required for Azure App Service.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.Sql</strong></td><td>Yes</td><td>Required for Azure SQL Database.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.ContainerInstance</strong></td><td>Conditional</td><td>Register if <strong>Azure Container Instances (ACI)</strong> is selected as the deployment option.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.App</strong></td><td>Conditional</td><td>Register if <strong>Azure Container Apps (ACA)</strong> is selected as the deployment option.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.ContainerService</strong></td><td>Conditional</td><td>Register if <strong>Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)</strong> is selected as the deployment option.</td></tr><tr><td>null</td><td><strong>Microsoft.KeyVault</strong></td><td>Optional</td><td>Register if Azure Key Vault is selected for the deployment.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Note:

* Registration typically completes within a few minutes.
* You must have **Owner** or **Contributor** permissions on the Azure subscription to register Resource Providers.&#x20;
* Registration only needs to be performed **once per Azure subscription**.&#x20;
* If a Resource Provider is already registered, no further action is required.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/inforiver-enterprise-on-prem/before-you-start/azure-resource-provider.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
