![Getting Started - Demo
• Basic knowledge of JSON required
• An editing tool, recommend Visual Studio
(Community Ed. Is free) or VSCode
• Easiest to start with an example template, - either from GitHub
or download directly from the Azure Portal and edit
• Once you have it, you can deploy direct or using PowerShell

Azure ARM’d and Ready
- 1. Bring the cloud back down to earth We are proudly sponsored by Azure – ARM’d and Ready…. Steve Harwood Enterprise Architect @ risual Ltd @steeveeh
- 2. I’m an EA working with organisations across the UK in helping them to understand and adopt technology – I love cloud in particular the right sort of adoption and am also keen on the future of AI/Cognitive Learning Away from the world of tech I’m a first time dad to my daughter (Maia). Also love Stoke City and a bit of Snowboarding (although am awful) I tweet from @steeveeh Email me [email protected] Who Am I? • Steve Harwood • Microsoft Enterprise Architect @ risual Ltd
- 3. Agenda What is ARM and why the discussion? Journey from Classic to ARM Advantages and key capabilities of ARM Migration Considerations / Tooling Pitfalls and Opportunities Q&A
- 4. Why the discussion? • ARM is the future of Azure, faster and more flexible • Has new security and deployment model, and new features are only being released on ARM • Announced @ Build (2014) – exams updated late 2016 – so has been around a while • Complements DevOps which is the changing face of IT
- 5. So, what is ARM ? • Azure Resource Manager (ARM) – new set of REST based APIs • Promotes a different way of managing dependent resources • Drive standardisation of deployment through cookie-cutter approach, i.e. declaration not instruction • RBAC is natively integrated into the management platform • Logical tagging of resources • Note, a key requirement for any cloud provider is programmability
- 6. Journey from Classic to ARM… • Azure Service Management (ASM) was original programmatic solution into the Azure platform, first attempt, limited • Grew organically as more services “bolted” into Azure, became fragmented and lacked key features (e.g. groups, RBAC, rollback) • Azure Resource Manager (ARM) acknowledged this and introduced REST based APIs with new capabilities • Note, ASM (v1, classic) and ARM (v2) treated separately in both programmatic access and portals
- 7. Advantages and key capabilities… • You can deploy, manage, and monitor all the resources for your solution as a group • You can repeatedly deploy your solution throughout the development lifecycle and have confidence your resources are deployed in a consistent state • You can deploy faster as true parallel compared to semi-sequential in ASM • You can manage your infrastructure through declarative templates rather than scripts. • You can define the dependencies between resources so they are deployed in the correct order. • You can apply access control to all services in your resource group because Role- Based Access Control (RBAC) is natively integrated into the management platform. • You can apply tags to resources to logically organize all the resources in your subscription. • You can clarify your organization's billing by viewing costs for a group of resources sharing the same tag.
- 8. Manage your infrastructure through code… • Azure Resource Templates (JSON) used to deploy resources to group • Portal, PowerShell or the CLI can be used to perform deployment • A template is essentially a “JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)” file • Includes a number of elements; parameters, variables and resources • Template driven deployments drive consistency and repeatability > Source Control!
- 9. Getting Started - Demo • Basic knowledge of JSON required • An editing tool, recommend Visual Studio (Community Ed.

- 10. Management – All about the role… • RBAC built into the heart of ARM • Give users the exact permissions they need • Three roles that apply to all RBAC types Owner, Contributor, Reader • Remaining roles are specific to the resource type, e.g. VM contributor • Can use an RG as a scope and inheritance applies • Old world required Sub Admin (Co-Admin)
- 11. Migration Considerations / Tooling - IaaS
- 12. Opportunities • ExpressRoute – must be moved to ARM to be able to be used with both deployment models, you can connect ExpressRoute to both but it must be moved first • Re-design your Azure tenant appropriately – opportunity to re- think your management model, e.g. governance, RBAC, cost centres, tagging, subscription method, billing – take it • Re-think for cloud – IaaS v1 promoted “lift and shift” – is this correct? Are you architecting for cloud?
