How I Automated My Cloud Setup Like a Pro (No Coding Needed

If you’re tired of manually creating resources in Azure, ARM Templates can make your life easier. They allow you to define and deploy resources in one click. Here’s how I did it step-by-step:

Template Magic:

1. Get a Sample Template:

◦ Visit github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates

◦ Search for "101-vm-simple-windows"

◦ Download "azuredeploy.json"

2. Customize It:

◦ Open in Notepad/VSCode

◦ Change "vmName" to your preferred name

◦ Save the file

3. Deploy in Azure:

◦ In Portal, search for "Template deployments"

◦ Click "Create" > "Build your own template"

◦ Upload your edited JSON file

◦ Click "Review + create"

Boom! Your VM and all needed resources deploy automatically.
