Azure Portal, Azure Market Place, Search, Catalog at-scale experiences scenarios for every single Azure customer are powered by ARG. It provides a single pane of glass to query cloud resources via a set of flexible standards with rich scalable, efficient constructs. These standards and toolsets are used by large customers and first party teams alike. ARG’s vision is to enable any customer (large to small) to organize, govern, secure, manage and explore their environments at-scale. Anything we design, develop, or deliver aligns with this vision. As of today, we return close to 6.5+ billion cloud resources per day through these standards to our customers and independent software vendors.
