Microsoft via Microsoft Learn

Go to class Write review

Overview

  • Module 1: Write JSON Azure Resource Manager templates by using Visual Studio Code to deploy your infrastructure to Azure consistently and reliably.

    • In this module, you will:

    • Implement a JSON ARM template by using Visual Studio Code.
    • Declare resources and add flexibility to your template by adding resources, parameters, and outputs.
  • Module 2: Manage multiple Azure environment deployments of your JSON Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates) by using functions, variables, tags, and parameter files.

    • In this module, you will:

    • Create an expression for a unique value by using ARM template functions.
    • Reuse your expression by storing it in an ARM template variable.
    • Organize and track your deployed Azure resources by using resource tags.
    • Manage multiple deployment parameters by using ARM template parameter files.
  • Module 3: Apply the what-if command to see the impact of a deployment before it's applied.

    • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Describe the two deployment modes in Azure and their effects
    • Preview what changes will happen before you deploy by using the what-if operation
  • Module 4: Use the ARM Template Test Toolkit and apply it on your Azure Resource Manager templates to ensure the templates follow good practices before deployment.

    • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Validate your template's adherence to recommendations by using the ARM Template Test Toolkit.
    • Implement domain-specific rules for deployments that you can run by using the ARM Template Test Toolkit.
  • Module 5: Learn how to deploy JSON Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates by using Azure PowerShell, the Azure CLI, and GitHub Actions.

    • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Choose the best way to deploy JSON ARM templates, based on your needs.
    • Modularize your templates by using linked templates.
    • Create GitHub Actions to deploy templates.
  • Module 6: Learn how to add custom steps to your Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates) by using deployment scripts.

    • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Perform custom steps in your ARM templates by using a deployment script
    • Define parameters to make your deployment scripts more reusable
  • Module 7: Use advanced constructs in Azure Resource Manager to manage complex scenarios such as deployment order, conditional deployments, and secrets.

    • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Control the deployment order of resources by using the dependsOn construct.
    • Securely assign secrets like passwords to resources in your templates by using Azure Key Vault and your ARM template.
    • Conditionally deploy resources by using the condition construct and parameters at deployment time.
    • Deploy multiple resources of the same type by using the copy construct to reduce repetitive configuration.
  • Module 8: Learn how to create, publish, and deploy template specs, which enable you to store and reuse templates across your organization.

    • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Create and deploy template specs
    • Add versions to template specs
