Infrastructure as a Code(IaC)
- This refers to the process of defining environments using code and then using it to create Environments.
- IaC mandates application definitions after it’s converted into code should follow the same application application lifecyle priniciples that are followed for application.
- IaC should be versioned and stored in Version-Controlled repository
- Three should be a process established to verify and validate the changes done.
- Examples:
- Terraform
- ARM Templates
- Cloudformation
- Activity: Create a free linux vm
- Now Navigate to Resource Group => Deployments
ARM Templates
- ARM templates are one of the foundation pillars for succesfull deployment of solutions on Azure.
- Authoring the right set of ARM Template that are modular, reusable and generic is major task in developing ARM Templates
- The process of designing ARM Template is
- identify the resources
- Resource location
- Identify the resource provider and its version
- Identify the Parameters and variables
- Identify the outputs fromthe template
- Integrated with the deployments
- ARM templates are JSON files
- Refer Here for the JSON Tutorial
