Day 1: 10:00 - 16:00
Azure Resource Manager Templates
To implement infrastructure as code for your Azure resources, ARM templates can be used. The template is a JSON file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for your project using a declarative syntax.
- Infrastructure as Code
- Authoring ARM Templates
- Parameters, Variables, Resources, Output
- Nested Templates
- Validating ARM Templates: Test Toolkit, Pester
- LAB: Deploy Azure Resources with ARM Templates
Deliver Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code tool that allows you to manage many different cloud services. It uses a simplified syntax which allows for concise descriptions of your resources.
- Terraform Features
- Configuration and Providers
- Variables, Resources, Secrets
- Terraform State
- LAB: Deploy Azure Resources with Terraform
Day 2: 10:00 - 16:00
The Bicep Language
Bicep is a transparent abstraction over ARM template JSON that significantly reduces the complexity of your templates. During deployment, the Bicep CLI converts a Bicep file into an ARM template.
- Benefits of Bicep Versus Other Tools
- Install Bicep Tools
- Author Resources
- Parameters, Variables, Outputs
- Validate Files with Bicep Linter
- Migrate from ARM Templates to Bicep
- LAB: Deploy Azure Resources with Bicep
In the past, managing an IT infrastructure was a hard job. System administrators had to manually manage and configure all of the hardware and software that was needed for applications to run.
However, in recent years, trends like “Infrastructure as Code” improved the way organizations design, develop, and maintain their IT infrastructure dramatically. The core idea of “Infrastructure as Code” is having a declarative description of your desired infrastructure. This makes it really easy to redeploy the same or similar environments in minutes. In this course, you will learn about the tools that can accomplish this for you: ARM Templates, Terraform and Bicep.
