Deploy Infrastructure As A Service with Azure Resource Manager Templates
summary
Explains how to author Azure Resource Manager templates with concrete recipes: authoring JSON with Azure Resource Manager templates, using PowerShell and Visual Studio Code, validating with New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment + -Verbose, and embedding secrets via Azure Automation credentials versus Key Vault. Shows complex variable constructs to drive naming, instance counts and DSC configs, warns against linked templates, hard‑coding API versions, and using concat versus resourceId. Demonstration builds a domain controller and Citrix stack; demo mostly succeeds despite transient schema issues.
