-After authenticating the request, Azure Resource Manager sends it to the resource provider, which completes the operation. Even during periods of unavailability for the control plane, you can still access the data plane of your Azure resources. For instance, you can continue to access and operate on data in your storage account resource via its separate storage URI `https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net` even when `https://management.azure.com` isn't available.

-The control plane includes two scenarios for handling requests - "green field" and "brown field". Green field refers to new resources. Brown field refers to existing resources. As you deploy resources, Azure Resource Manager understands when to create new resources and when to update existing resources. You don't have to worry that identical resources will be created.

 Features that enforce management and governance might not apply to data plane operations. You need to consider the different ways users interact with your solutions. For example, a lock that prevents users from deleting a database doesn't prevent users from deleting data through queries.
