4 Agenda Why Azure Resource Manager Resource Groups in a Nutshell Azure Resource Manager Templates ARM Template Tricks Demo Continuous Delivery with Resource Manager Templates Demo

6 Pitfalls in Azure Service Management 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.

7 Azure Resource Manager is template-driven declarative idempotent multi-service multi-region extensible AZURE RESOURCE MANAGER API

8 ASM vs. ARM ASM/Classic model (v1) Resource Manager (v2)

10 What are Resource Groups? container for multiple resources resources exist in one (and only one) resource group resource groups can span regions resource groups can span services RESOU RCE GROUP Deploying with Resource Groups tracks template execution created within a resource group allows nested deployments

11 Resource Tags Name-value pairs assigned to resources or resource groups Subscription-wide taxonomy Each resource can have up to 15 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

13 Azure Resource Manager templates Why ARM Templates? Ensure Idempotency Simplify orchestration, deployment and roll-back Provide Cross-Resource Configuration and Update Support Depends on SQL Depends DEPENDS ON on SQL Source file, checked-in Specifies resources and dependencies (VMs, websites, DBs) and connections (configuration, LB sets) Configurable parameters for input/output SQL configuration

14 Template Decomposition

15 { "$schema": "" "contentversion": "", " parameters": {}, "variables": {}, "resources": [] } Template Format

16 Template Format 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 ). 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

17 Inside a JSON Template Schema, content version, parameters, variables, resources, and outputs

18

19 Conditions { "resources": [{ "condition": true false, "apiversion": "<apiversion>", "name": "<nesteddeploymentname>", "type": "<rpnamespace/resourcetype>", "properties": { } } ] }

20 Set Functions: contains() empty() intersection() union() first() last() indexof() lastindexof() startswith() endswith() max() min() range() Functions Conversion Functions: array() createarray() bool() float() Logical Operators: less() lessorequals() greater() greaterorequals() equals() Logical Functions: and bool if not or Resource Functions: listkeys and list{value} providers reference resourcegroup resourceid subscription

21 Linked Templates "resources": [ { "apiversion": " ", "name": "linkedtemplate", "type": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments", "properties": { "mode": "incremental", "templatelink": { "uri": " "contentversion": " " }, "parameters": { "StorageAccountName":{"value": "[parameters('storageaccountname')]"} } } } ]
