A. B. C. D.A
You can automate deployments and use the practice of infrastructure as code. In code, you define the infrastructure that needs to be deployed
To implement infrastructure as code for your Azure solutions, use Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates). The template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for your project. The template uses declarative syntax, which lets you state what you intend to deploy without having to write the sequence of programming commands to create it. In the template, you specify the resources to deploy and the properties for those resources.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/overviewAn Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template is a declarative JSON file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for a group of related Azure resources. ARM templates can be used to automate the creation and deployment of resources in Azure in a repeatable way.
Option A is the correct answer. ARM templates are commonly used to automate the creation of interdependent groups of Azure resources. These templates define the relationships between resources and ensure that they are deployed in the correct order. This can help to reduce errors and ensure that the resources are deployed consistently each time.
Option B is not correct. While Azure policies can be used to enforce compliance and governance requirements in multi-tenant environments, ARM templates are not used specifically for this purpose.
Option C is also not correct. ARM templates are used to provision Azure resources, but they are not used to provision Azure subscriptions. Subscriptions are created manually through the Azure portal.
Option D is not correct. While ARM templates can be used to control which resources are deployed as part of a template, they are not used to control which services and features administrators and developers can deploy from the Azure portal. This is typically managed through RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and Azure policies.
In summary, ARM templates are primarily used to automate the creation of interdependent groups of Azure resources in a repeatable way.
