Automate resource provioning using ARM Templates

Steps

Define Infrastructure Requirements: This step involves identifying and defining the infrastructure requirements, including the resources that need to be provisioned, the types of virtual machines or services required, and other dependencies.

Design ARM Template: This step involves creating an ARM template that will define the infrastructure as code. The template includes all the necessary configuration settings and resources required to provision the infrastructure.

Configure Parameters: In this step, you'll configure the parameters that will be used to customize the deployment of the ARM template, such as the number of instances or the region where the resources will be deployed.

Define Resource Dependencies: Here, you'll define the dependencies between resources, ensuring that they are provisioned in the correct order and with the necessary configuration settings.

Define Outputs and Variables: This step involves defining the outputs and variables that will be used in subsequent steps, such as the resource IDs or connection strings.

Test and Validate Template: This step involves testing and validating the ARM template to ensure that it's working correctly and that all the necessary resources are being provisioned.

Deploy Resources with ARM Template: In this step, you'll deploy the resources using the ARM template, either through the Azure portal or via the Azure CLI.

Automate Resource Provisioning with CI/CD Pipeline: This final step involves creating a CI/CD pipeline that will automate the resource provisioning process, allowing for faster and more efficient deployments.
