Introduction to Infrastructure as Code - Part 2: IaC Hands-On with Azure Resource Manager Templates

This is Part 2 of a 3-article series that will introduce readers to infrastructure-as-code at a high-level and then provide a hands-on look at how to implement it on Azure using Terraform. This article introduces Azure ARM templates and explains the difference between JSON and Bicep syntax. Then, using Bicep syntax, we walk through steps to create a template that provisions infrastructure for a web app by creating several VMs and a PostgreSQL database.
