AzureFunBytes Episode 51 - Deploy With ARM Templates with @shankuehn
Aug 17, 2021Jay Gordon

Summary
This post introduces ARM templates as a declarative way to define Azure deployments, contrasting them with imperative approaches and highlighting idempotency. It details the structure of ARM templates (parameters, variables, functions, resources, outputs, metadata) and demonstrates their use by deploying a virtual network, then a virtual machine to that network, and finally a storage account with a file share mounted from the VM. It also mentions Bicep as a newer alternative to ARM templates.
