The document provides an overview of Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, which are JSON files used for automating the deployment and management of Azure resources in a consistent manner. Key features include declarative syntax, resource definitions, dependency management, and modularity through linked templates. It also outlines the structure of an ARM template and includes a demo for creating a virtual machine and storage account.

3. What is ARM Template?
● It was announced at 2014 and currently one of the preferred method for deployment of resource in
Azure
● An Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template is a JSON file that defines the infrastructure and
configuration for your Azure resources
● ARM templates are used to automate the deployment and management of Azure resources in a
consistent and repeatable manner

4. Key Features of Template
Declarative Syntax: ARM templates use a declarative syntax, meaning you define what you want to deploy without
specifying the sequence of operations to create it. The template outlines the desired state of your infrastructure.
Resource Definitions: ARM templates allow you to define the Azure resources you need, such as virtual machines,
storage accounts, databases, and networking components.
Dependencies: You can define dependencies between resources to ensure they are deployed in the correct order.
ARM templates manage the deployment sequence based on these dependencies.
Modularity: ARM templates support linked and nested templates, allowing you to break down complex deployments
into smaller, reusable templates.

5. Template Structure
● Schema ⇒ It is responsible to validate the template, which we have written
I.e : https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#
● contentVersion ⇒ Version of the schema, If there is any changes or amendment then update the version number
● Parameters ⇒ Parameters allow you to pass different values to the ARM template for use during the deployment
● Functions ⇒ It is used to generate the dynamic value of the resource. I.e. dynamic name of the storage account at time
of creation
● Variables ⇒ To use the same value multiple time, we can define in template use the value
● Resource ⇒ Describes which need to create using the template
● Outputs ⇒ What you want to see in the output

6. Demo
● Create Virtual Machine and Storage account
