--- title: Find resource providers by Azure services description: Lists all resource provider namespaces for Azure Resource Manager and shows the Azure service for that namespace. ms.topic: article ms.date: 01/09/2025 ms.custom: devx-track-arm-template content_well_notification: - AI-contribution ai-usage: ai-assisted --- # What are the resource providers for Azure services A resource provider is a collection of REST operations that enables functionality for an Azure service. Each resource provider has a namespace in the format of `company-name.service-label`. This article shows the resource providers for Azure services. If you don't know the resource provider, see [Find resource provider](#find-resource-provider). ## AI and machine learning resource providers The resource providers for AI and machine learning services are: | Resource provider namespace | Azure service | | --------------------------- | ------------- | | Microsoft.AutonomousSystems | [Autonomous Systems](https://www.microsoft.com/ai/autonomous-systems) | | Microsoft.BotService | [Azure Bot Service](/azure/bot-service/) | | Microsoft.CognitiveServices | [Cognitive Services](/azure/ai-services/) | | Microsoft.EnterpriseKnowledgeGraph | Enterprise Knowledge Graph | | Microsoft.MachineLearningServices | [Azure Machine Learning](/azure/machine-learning/) | | Microsoft.Search | [Azure AI Search](/azure/search/) | ##

Registration Resource providers marked with **- registered by default** in the previous section are automatically registered for your subscription. For other resource providers, you need to [register them](resource-providers-and-types.md). However, many resource providers are registered automatically when you perform specific actions. For example, when you create resources through the portal or by deploying an [Azure Resource Manager template](../templates/overview.md), Azure Resource Manager automatically registers any required unregistered resource providers. > [!IMPORTANT] > Register a resource provider only when you're ready to use it. This registration step helps maintain least privileges within your subscription. A malicious user can't use unregistered resource providers. > > Registering unnecessary resource providers may result in unrecognized apps appearing in your Microsoft Entra tenant. Microsoft adds the app for a resource provider when you register it. These apps are typically added by the Windows Azure Service Management API. To prevent unnecessary apps in your tenant, only register needed resource providers. ## Find resource provider To identify resource providers used for your existing Azure infrastructure, list the deployed resources. Specify the resource group containing the resources. The following example uses Azure CLI: ```azurecli-interactive az resource list --resource-group examplegroup ``` The results include the resource type. The resource provider namespace is the first part of the resource type. The following example shows the **Microsoft.KeyVault** resource provider. ```output [ { ... "type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults" } ] ``` The following example uses PowerShell: ```azurepowershell-interactive Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName examplegroup ``` The results include the resource type. The resource provider namespace is the first part of the resource type. The following example shows the **Microsoft.KeyVault** resource provider. ```output Name : examplekey ResourceGroupName : examplegroup ResourceType : Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults ... ``` The following example uses Python: ```python import os from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] credential = DefaultAzureCredential() resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) resource_group_name = "examplegroup" resources = resource_client.resources.list_by_resource_group(resource_group_name) for resource in resources: print(resource.type) ``` The results list the resource type. The resource provider namespace is the first part of the resource type. The following example shows the **Microsoft.KeyVault** resource provider. ```output Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults ``` ## Next steps For more information about resource providers, including how to register a resource provider, see [Azure resource providers and types](resource-providers-and-types.md).
