Authoring ARM templates the easy way with FARMer - Isaac Abraham

Don't forget to check out our links below! https://ndcoslo.com/ https://ndcconferences.com/ Azure Resource Manager templates have made repeatable deployments on Azure a reality. However, the true cost of these templates is the cost of authoring them, generally involving painstaking and error-prone management of JSON files. Whilst improvements in tooling have helped ameliorate this problem, there's a need to rethink how we create ARM templates, which is where the FARMer project comes in. In this session you'll be exposed to the following: * Learn about the basics of ARM templates and the value proposition behind them * Understand the cost of working with ARM templates * See how we can use a .NET domain specific language (DSL) to rapidly author and work with ARM templates. * See common use cases and cost-benefit of ARM templates * Look at ways of dealing with elements such as parameterisation and variables through a programming language rather than through JSON and stringly-typed expressions * Discuss how to deploy ARM templates through repeatable continuous integration and deployment tools
