Working with ARM templates

Now, we come to the more advanced section of the explanations on the subject of working with ARM. The content of this section is also divided into two parts:

  • In the first part, we consider the issue from the view of an IT professional. IT professionals are less interested in developing their own templates but want to reuse their existing deployments in template form. The corresponding feature in ARM is to export a deployment as an ARM template. This feature allows you to create templates of your deployment and download the templates to secure them in a source code repository, modifying your templates and of course the redeployment.
  • The second part (from the perspective of the developer) is easier to explain. This section deals with the topic of authoring an ARM template.
