ARM Templates (Azure Resource Manager Templates)

ARM Templates, or Azure Resource Manager Templates, are JSON files that define the infrastructure and configuration of Azure resources in a clear and repeatable way. Think of them as blueprints for building cloud applications and services. By using these templates, developers can specify what resources they need, like servers or databases, how they are connected, and settings for each. This allows for quick deployment, consistency, and easier management of cloud environments, making it simpler to set up complex systems without having to do everything manually each time.
