Creating an ARM template
In this section, we will be discussing how you can manage your Azure infrastructure as code and create reusable templates to manage and recreate your cloud environment.
One of the cornerstones of the modern DevOps approach is the ability to manage and provision the infrastructure for a distributed application with a declarative or even procedural set of definition files that can be versioned and stored together with the application source code.
