View Resource Providers in Azure

Q. How can I view all the types of Resource Providers available in Azure?

A. Azure Resource Manager is made up of many Resource Providers (RPs) that each provide different types of resource (as the name suggests). To view all available RPs use:

Get-AzureRmResourceProvider

To view details about a specific RP use:

Get-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Compute

Microsoft has a good article at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-manager-supported-services/ which details the resource types with some additional information.
