Visual Studio 2015 and Azure Resource Manager

Does it take you days to deploy your infrastructure? In this session we are going to introduce you to Azure Resource Manager and demonstrate how we create Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates using Visual Studio 2015 and then deploy the infrastructure in minutes. We are going to peek under the covers of the ARM templates to show you what is going on inside the template and why you should be implementing it today. We will look at the Azure portal and walk through the infrastructure we deployed. Lastly we will look at the Azure Resource Template Visualizer and show you a great way to use it to get you started with ARM template creation.

4. Application Lifecycle Container Declarative solution for Deployment and Configuration Consistent Management Layer Introducing Resource Manager
5. Resource Groups  Tightly coupled containers of multiple resources of similar or different types  Every resource *must* exist in one and only one resource group  Resource groups can span regions Resource Group
6. Coupling for Resources Resource Group is a unit of management  Lifecycle: deployment, update, delete, status  Grouping: metering, billing, quota: applied & rolled up to group
7. Azure Templates Azure Templates can: Simplify Orchestration Ensure Idempotency Provide Cross-Resource Configuration and Update Support Azure Templates are: Source file, checked-in Specifies resources and dependencies (VMs, WebSites, DBs) and connections (config, LB sets) Parametized input/output SQL - A Website Virtual Machines SQL-A Website [SQL CONFIG] VM (2x) DEPENDS ON SQL DEPENDS ON SQL SQL CONFIG
8. Deployment • Visual Studio tracks template execution • Created within a resource group • Released through RM or Visual Studio Resource Group
9. Resource Extensions VM+DSC/Chef/Puppet/CustomScript/etc. AppService + WebDeploy SQL DB + BACPAC Copies Nested Templates NewOrExisting Patterns Advanced Template Scenarios
10. role based access control audit logs resource locks Control with Azure Resource Manager
11. Role Based Access Control • Allows secure access with granular permissions • Assignable to users, groups, or service principals • Built-in roles make it easy to get started
12. Two Key Concepts Role Definitions • describes the set of permissions (e.g. read actions) • can be used in multiple assignments Role Assignments • associate role definitions with an identity (e.g. user/group) at a scope (e.g. resource group) • always inherited – subscription assignments apply to all resources
13. Role Based Access Control
14. Granular Scopes /subscriptions/{id}/resourceGroups/{name}/providers/…/sites/{site} subscription level – grants permissions to all resources in the sub resource group level – grants permissions to all resources in the group resource level – grants permissions to the specific resource
15. Resource Locks •Accidents happen. Resource locks help prevent them :) •Resource locks allow administrators to create policies which prevent write actions or prevent accidental deletion.
16. Key Concepts • Resource lock • Policy which enforces a "lock level" at a particular scope • Lock level • Type of enforcement; current values include CanNotDelete and ReadOnly • Scope: • The realm to which the lock level is applied. Expressed as a URI; can be set at the resource group, or resource scope.
