Azure Resource Manager Template (ARM template)

A JSON file that declaratively defines Azure resources for deployment through Azure Resource Manager.

Definition

ARM templates have parameters, variables, resources, and outputs and are deployed at resource group, subscription, management group, or tenant scope. Bicep compiles to ARM JSON and is now the recommended authoring language.

Example

az deployment group create -g rg-prod --template-file main.json

Exam tip

Incremental mode (default) leaves unlisted resources; Complete mode deletes resources not in the template.
