15. Cross-subscription deployments using ARM templates
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates are the preferred mechanism for provisioning resources and configuring them on Azure.
ARM templates help to implement a relatively new paradigm known as Infrastructure as Code (IaC). ARM templates convert the infrastructure and its configuration into code, which has numerous advantages. IaC brings a high level of consistency and predictability to deployments across environments. It also ensures that environments can be tested before going to production, and, finally, it gives a high level of confidence in the deployment process, maintenance, and governance.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- ARM templates
- Deploying resource groups with ARM templates
- Deploying resources across subscriptions and resource groups
- Deploying cross-subscription and resource group deployments using linked templates
- Creating ARM templates for PaaS, data, and IaaS...
