What does Azure Service Health differ from Azure Advisor?

  1. Azure Service Health is about monitoring the current state of Azure services, while Azure Advisor focuses on providing actionable recommendations to improve and optimize your use of Azure resources.

• What are some benefits of Azure Resource Manager Templates (ARM)

  • Infrastructure As A Code: ARM templates allow you to define your infrastructure in a JSON format, enabling consistent and repeatable deployments.

  • Consistency: Using templates ensures that resources are deployed in a consistent manner across different environments (development, staging, production).

  • Automation: This is a Simplified Deployment, templates can be used in conjunction with Azure DevOps or other CI/CD tools to automate the deployment process, reducing manual intervention and errors.

  • Version Control: Templates can be stored in source control systems (like Git), allowing for version tracking and collaboration among teams.

  • Cost Management: ARM templates can help in estimating costs based on the resources specified, aiding in budgeting and financial planning.

  • Security: You can incorporate Azure policies to enforce compliance and security standards directly in your ARM templates.
