 # 5. Defining standard resource operations
 
-The `Azure.Core` namespace provides a number of [standard lifecycle operations](https://azure.github.io/typespec-azure/docs/libraries/azure-core/reference/interfaces#Azure.Core.ResourceOperations) for resource types which encode many of the requirements of the [Azure REST API Guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/api-guidelines/blob/vNext/azure/Guidelines.md).
+The `Azure.Core` namespace provides a variety of [standard lifecycle operations](https://azure.github.io/typespec-azure/docs/libraries/azure-core/reference/interfaces#Azure.Core.ResourceOperations) for resource types.

-The first step to defining standard operations for a resource type is to create an instance of the `ResourceOperations` interface that is tailored to the service you are describing. Here is a canonical example:

-1. We define an alias called `ServiceTraits` which is defined as the intersection of three trait model types. You can learn more about interface-level service traits [here](https://azure.github.io/typespec-azure/docs/getstarted/azure-core/step09#applying-traits-to-all-resource-operations).

-> **NOTE:** We use the name `Operations` here as a convenience, but it is possible that you will define multiple aliases of `ResourceOperation` for a single service to apply different customizations for some operations. You might choose to name it something more explicit like `StandardOperations`.

-Let's define the standard set of CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations that are typically needed for a resource type in an Azure service.

-We will do that by defining an interface called `Widgets` which reaches into the `Operations` interface to use the standard resource operation shapes that it contains:

-> **NOTE:** It is not necessary to define your resource operations inside of an `interface`. You can also define them in a sub-namespace of your service or inside the top-level namespace of the service. However, it is a best practice in TypeSpec to use `interface` to encapsulate the operations of a particular resource type.

 The `Widget` interface defines the following standard lifecycle operations:
 
-- `ResourceRead<TResource>` - defines a "read" operation for a single resource instance
-- `ResourceCreateOrUpdate<TResource>` - defines an "upsert" operation which either creates or updates an instance of the resource type depending on whether it already exists
-- `ResourceDelete<TResource>` - defines a "delete" operation to delete a specific instance of the resource
-- `ResourceList<TResource>` - defines an operation that lists all instances of the resource type
-
-> **NOTE:** There are both instantaneous and long-running versions of "create", "update", and "delete" operations for resource types depending on what you need for a particular resource!
-
-Based on the configuration of the `Widget` type and the use of these standard operation templates, these operations will all exist under the route path:
+- `ResourceRead<TResource>`: Defines a "read" operation for a single resource instance.
+- `ResourceCreateOrUpdate<TResource>`: Defines an "upsert" operation which either creates or updates an instance of the resource type depending on whether it already exists.
+- `ResourceDelete<TResource>`: Defines a "delete" operation to delete a specific instance of the resource.
+- `ResourceList<TResource>`: Defines an operation that lists all instances of the resource type.
