# What Is RMS?

#### Description

Resource Management Service (RMS) enables you to centrally manage your cloud resources. You can search for them.

#### Architecture

You can view the resources you own, resource details, and resource relationships on the RMS console.

#### Access Methods

You can use either of the following methods to access RMS:

- Management console

  The console is a web-based UI, where you can perform operations easily. Log in to the management console and choose Resource Management > My Resources in the upper right corner.

- Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)

  Use this method if you are required to integrate RMS on the public cloud platform into a third-party system for secondary development. For detailed operations, see Resource Management Service API Reference.
