Why Azure Resource Manager Resource Groups in a Nutshell Azure Resource Manager Templates ARM Template Tricks Demo Continuous Delivery with Resource Manager Templates Demo
Agenda
EVENTS.COLLAB365.COMMUNITY
There is no way to specify multi-region or multi-service in a single script.Different scripts were used for targeting various services and the execution was orchestrated by the tool
Used Affinity Groups concept for close proximity hints. No consistency in the APIs exposed by services.
XML, some used JSON
Organizing 1000s of resources across the organization was hard. Limited access control exposed in the model.
Subscription co-administrator for providing user access
Limited auditing available from the portal.The List Subscription Operations operation returns a list of create, update, and delete operations that were performed on a subscription during the specified timeframe.
Pitfalls in Azure Service Management

container for multiple resources resources exist in one (and only one)
resource group resource groups can span regions resource groups can span services
Deploying with Resource Groups tracks template execution created within a resource group allows nested deployments
RESOURCE GROUP
What are Resource Groups?
EVENTS.COLLAB365.COMMUNITY
• Name-value pairs assigned to resources or resource groups
• Subscription-wide taxonomy• Each resource can have up to 15 tags
Resource Tags
• Tag by environment, e.g. dev/test/prod• Tag by role, e.g. web/cache/db• Tag by department, e.g. finance/retail/legal• Tag by responsible party, e.g. Bob• Tags show up in billing

Template Decomposition
EVENTS.COLLAB365.COMMUNITY
{"$schema": """contentVersion": ""," parameters": {},
"variables": {},"resources": []}
Template Format
EVENTS.COLLAB365.COMMUNITY
Element name Required Description
$schema Yes Location of the JSON schema file that describes the version for the template language. You should use the URL.
contentVersion Yes Version of the template. (i.e.1.0.0.0). Any value can be provided. When deploying resources using the template, this value ensures that the right template is being used.
parameters No Values that are provided when deployment is executed to customize resource deployment
variables No Values that are used as JSON fragments in the template to simplify template language expressions
resources Yes Resource types that are deployed or updated in a resource group
outputs No Values that are returned after deployment
Template Format
