Azure Resource Manager templates

Azure Resource Manager templates let you define infrastructure as code for any Azure resource. You write JSON files to declare the exact configuration of virtual machines, networks, or storage accounts, then deploy them consistently across environments. This approach replaces manual portal clicks with repeatable, version-controlled deployments that ensure your cloud setup matches your intended architecture every time.

Teams already committed to the Azure ecosystem will find this workflow natural, though there is no free tier for the template service itself. You pay for the underlying resources deployed by the templates on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning the cost is tied entirely to the infrastructure you provision rather than the template definition.
