Question related to Azure deployment process #1

Closed pgavrailov closed 4 years ago

pgavrailov commented 4 years ago

Very good article, easy to follow, however I have a dump question. How does Azure know what exactly has to be deployed? I mean as far as I understood it, all I did following along was to create few APP IDs and to attach them to Resource Group in Azure. I have no clue how and why after I clicked deploy Azure decided to add all those services , apps etc to the resource group ?

@pgavrailov The Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template here specifies the resources that are created and the links between them. This page has an overview of ARM templates, how they work, and how to create your own. There's also a library of quickstart templates that you can check out for examples, or customize for your own scenario.

The "Deploy to Azure" button is an image link takes you to the Azure Portal function to create a deployment based on a given ARM template, and it points to the ARM template that I linked to above.

This is the link in this project's wiki: https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FOfficeDev%2Fmicrosoft-teams-list-search-app%2Fmaster%2FDeployment%2Fazuredeploy.json
