Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to manage resource providers and groups. We then learned how to perform deployments using ARM with templates and also learned how to implement resource locks. At the end of this chapter, we covered automatic resource group management with Azure Event Grid and implemented proper resource naming conventions.

Understanding the basics is really important as all the topics covered in this chapter will have their use in the following ones. Things such as resource locks, deployments with ARM templates, and moving resources are typical daily tasks of Azure administrators and operators. Remember that when it comes to cloud solutions, for most of the services you use, you are only paying for usage. When playing with a resource group, keep in mind that they are free of charge, regardless of whether they contain resources or not. 

In the next chapter, we will learn how to configure and manage virtual networks, which are one of the main building blocks of Azure infrastructures.
