(Ebook) Building Applications with Azure Resource Manager (ARM): Leverage IaC to Vastly Improve the Life Cycle of Your Applications by David Rendón ISBN 9781484277461, 1484277465

Learn how to leverage infrastructure as code with Azure Resource Manager including best practices to build, test, debug and deploy your applications in Microsoft Azure. As organizations consider moving partially or fully to the cloud, infrastructure as code has become a key component to improving time to market for their applications. However, it is critical that enterprise infrastructure professionals use the right resources and strategies to build the infrastructure required to run applications in the cloud. Azure cloud native components and capabilities automate the build and deployment process, offering a myriad of compelling reasons to leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaS) to build your applications in Azure. Starting with the evolution of the software-defined approach and building on the basic concepts of Infrastructure as Code, this book provides you with comprehensive guidance to learning Azure Resource Manager from the ground up. You will learn the best practices for deploying and maintaining application infrastructure with Azure Resource Manager templates, including template authoring tooling enhancements, the most recent language for deploying Azure resources declaratively, and Azure DevOps integrations and investments in the deployment platform. After reading this book, you will understand the breadth and use cases of ARM capabilities and tooling within Microsoft Azure. You will be able to build, test, debug and deploy your ARM templates and come away with an understanding of using infrastructure as code to better manage the lifecycle of your applications in Azure. What You Will Learn Introduces the concepts of infrastructure as code and how to leverage it using Azure Resource Manager Teaches how to enable and deploy Azure Resource Manager templates Covers the basic core elements of an ARM template to start authoring your templates and build your applications in the cloud Dives into core components such as parameters, variables, functions, dependencies, deployment modes, loops, conditions), enabling nested templates Reveals the built-in services and features in Azure, allowing the debugging process and validation process of the ARM templates Discusses “Bicep” the language for ARM templates and the DevOps integration to deploy ARM templates This book is for people who build, install, repair, or maintain the hardware and software associated with computer systems on-premises and who want to learn about the deployment and provisioning process of applications in the Microsoft Cloud using an infrastructure as code approach through Azure Resource Manager. Readers should have an Azure account and be familiar with the main Azure services (storage, compute, networking, management). Basic knowledge of PowerShell is also useful.
