ARM templates - Azure Resource Manager

• Infrastructure as code
• Are idempotent, which means you can deploy the same template many times and get the same resource types in the same state.
• Idempotent, if you deploy the template to the same environment again, and if nothing changes in the template, nothing changes in the environment.

// Connect Connect-AzAccount Disconnect-AzAccount

// Deploy ARM template to Azure New-AzResourceGroup -Name MyFirstResourceGroup -Location eastus New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -Name $deploymentName -TemplateFile $templateFile // Deploy an arm template az deployment group create

// Resource Groups az group list Get-AzResourceGroup az group delete --name Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name ''

// Storage Account az storage account create --name storage-account-name -g VDC-Hub --sku Standard_LRS

// VMs az vm list Get-AzVM az vm create New-AzVM

// Other New-AzureADUser
