Whatare resource templates?

Whyshould we use them?

Howdo we create them?


What are Resource Templates

• Declarative configuration of Azure Resources in

Resource Manager model

• JSON format

• Configuration File and accompanying parameters file

• Idempotent – can be reapplied


Why Use Them?

• Version controlled

• Easier to read than scripts

• More efficient to deploy

• Fits with the configuration as code DevOps world view


Authoring Templates

• Visual Studio 2013/2015

• Azure SDK

• PowerShell


Deployment: Azure PowerShell 0.9.8

New-AzureResourceGroup -Name $ResourceGroupName `-Location $ResourceGroupLocation `-TemplateFile $TemplateFile `-TemplateParameterFile $TemplateParametersFile `-Force -Verbose

New-AzureResourceGroup -Name $ResourceGroupName `-Location $ResourceGroupLocation `-TemplateFile $TemplateFile `-envPrefix $envPrefix `-Force -Verbose

this is a parameter specified in my template file
