Resource Manager receives any request sent by a user from any of the Azure tools or APIs. It authenticates and authorizes your request. The request is sent to Azure by Resource Manager. Azure takes the requested action. All requests are handled using the same API. This ensures consistency in results and capabilities across all tools. All the capabilities available in the portal can also be accessed through PowerShell and Azure CLI, REST APIs, client SDKs, or REST APIs. Within 180 days of initial release, API functionality will be available in the portal.
