You gotta ❤ the power of Infrastructure as Code deployed using ARM templates. If you are still uncomfortable with the Azure CLI, you might want to check out my episode on Azure CLI Fundamentals at www.auditwolf.com/blog/azure-cli-fundamentals
I think this is the best video for beginner. However at around 10:00 ,even if you deploy it is not going to fail but no changes will be made. Just thought of highlighting it for exam purposes (ARM is idempotence).
Great video , really like the short and crisp to the point explanation. It makes the path easy now for developing ARM templates. Thankyou for sharing the knowledge.
What are some examples of real-world projects that use arm templates? What would we use this for websites, web apps, what are the main reasons why a company or person would use an arm template?
Hey Dana, great video about ARM Templates. I played around a bit and tried the template you showed "Simple deployment of a VM with tags". I also tried the template "Join a VM to an existing domain" and I noticed a huge difference. The parameter "VM Size" in the first template is a simple text field, but in the "join domain" template it is a cool "selection field" like the orginal Azure VM wizard shows. This selection field is much easier to use of course. How can I force my template to show this field instead of a single text box in the GUI?
Zachari Whitney On screencasts it’s much clearer to see on the light theme. As is most documentation being referred to. Plus, it’s the default theme most new admins are used to. But point taken. 🙃 My CLI is dark theme, which is where I normally am doing stuff anyways 🤪
I don't know anything about coding (my whole family works in programming and IT except me lol). I do have a question though. What is your camera setup?!?! It's awesome!
I use a Canon M50 with an EF adapter and a Sigma 35mm F1.4 lens. I connect it by USB to my Surfacebook and use it as a webcam and control it with the Canon app. I use a couple of LED panels to light the whole thing so I have full control over the environment (its a really small room). Any other shots you see in any of the sequences (like screens, laptops, people etc) are shot on my Canon EOS RP. The real trick is to follow the typical guidance on shooting cinematic/filmic. 24fps, color grade with technicolor cinestyle, expose it right and ensure audio is clean. You don't have to be fancy... just need to make sure its easy to maintain so you can be consistent. I don't even edit on complex software like Premiere... I just edit it all on my iPad with Lumafusion. (Although I do wish it had alpha channel, warp stabilizer and speed ramping so I could do more broll type stuff) HTH. Thanks for taking time to check out my channel!
??? Not sure I follow. AZ is a command line interface (cli). You run commands in whatever shell you like (DOS/cmd, Powershell, bash). You can even run it directly in Azure CloudShell. I’m a fan of using bash scripting with az cli, and doing more advanced stuff using Python. Does that help?
If you are using Visual Studio, it may not be supporting the latest schema directly. If you are using VS Code, make sure you have updated your ARM Tools extension to the latest version. Also, if when you were first prompted you told it to NOT update the schema, it won't prompt again. In that case, I would uninstall the extension and reinstall it to have it reset the state to be watching for arm and prompt you. Finally, you can always just manually update the schema. The extension will pick up on that and the rest of the intellisense will work against the new schema.

Great video! especially liked where you explained using params.
The best video on ARM templates so far! Thank you so much!
This is not just a great video on ARM templates, but also a guide on how to make a great video.

In the middle of studying for AZ-204, thank you for the quick and concise overview of working with these!
Very well explained. Appreciate your knowledge transfer sessions. Liked your video quality!!!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Great video, clear and very useful
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for, a simple walkthrough of the syntax for ARM templates. Now I know what I am looking at!

This was so helpful! Thanks :) Subscribed
The way you teach makes it interesting! Thank you so much. I've just entered into the cloud as an ACE and your videos helping me a lot!❤
Great to hear!
Very cool video!
Thank you for this informative video Dana, you are truly doing the Lords work.
Very good, Thanks
Where does Bicep and Terraform fits in the grand scheme ?
What are some examples of real-world projects that use arm templates? What would we use this for websites, web apps, what are the main reasons why a company or person would use an arm template?

Hi, Nice video, can you name the snippet installed for getting the ready commands
Great tips!
Dan I really like your videos but I gotta ask...LIGHT THEME?
Zachari Whitney On screencasts it’s much clearer to see on the light theme. As is most documentation being referred to. Plus, it’s the default theme most new admins are used to. But point taken. 🙃
My CLI is dark theme, which is where I normally am doing stuff anyways 🤪
Any idea how to update the template versions? It appears my version is somewhat outdated, but I have ARM and many of the Azure extensions installed.
Thanks for the video. What is the difference between this and tools like terraform? What is the benefit of using those tools?
Isnt Terraform the recommended Infrastructure automation tool by Microsoft?

Try to save the code before you execute the command, I am newbie to VS code, I didn't save the code so I got error when issuing the command, hekhek.
What programming languages do you need for AZ Administrator?
??? Not sure I follow.
AZ is a command line interface (cli). You run commands in whatever shell you like (DOS/cmd, Powershell, bash). You can even run it directly in Azure CloudShell.
I’m a fan of using bash scripting with az cli, and doing more advanced stuff using Python.
Does that help?
@@KnowOps Yes! Thank you for the reply.
I tried ARM tool kit in Visual studio. It is still using 2015 format and I am not getting any option to update it. How to do that please?
If you are using Visual Studio, it may not be supporting the latest schema directly. If you are using VS Code, make sure you have updated your ARM Tools extension to the latest version.
