Foreword

Azure Resource Manager is the control plane in Azure, and the global API that enables users from anywhere in the world to interact with their cloud resources, handling everything from authorization to throttling, auditing, policy, and template deployments.

Specifically as it relates to this book, Azure Resource Manager enables Infrastructure as Code in a declarative fashion for users to describe the goal state of their resources in Azure, regardless of whether they are complex end-to-end application architectures, or a complete deployment of the infrastructure topology.

This book focuses on the benefits of being Azure-Cloud-native with Azure Resource Manager and its templates, and through a practical approach, Ritesh demonstrates an ocean of benefits by using multiple different techniques to guide you to the desired outcome.
