You know there are so many poor quality KZbin videos about IT topics these days. You type in any subject and 95% of videos are from Indians without any knowledge and it’s impossible to understand their English. The quality of your videos and your level of knowledge is at guru level. Something that you would normally have to pay for to access; and here it is for free! Amazing!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Fantastic to hear, thanks!

[@hussainshaik2673]

why you watch indian videos than

One of the best tutorials that explains template deployment in such a easy way you can never get with the paid courses. Thanks Adam

[@dineshsuthar273]

Man oh man what an explanation, was paid so much to learn the ARM templates but no luck. Thanks Adam

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Glad to hear, sorry that you had to try paid routes before finally landing here, but I'm happy to have you here!

[@gauravraw]

Just a few seconds in the video when you showed how different tools interact with the same Azure Resource Manager, I knew this was going to be a great detailed video and after following on the entire demo using VS Code, I wasn't wrong. Thank you!

[@ashkanizadpanah9761]

thanks Adam for putting together such valuable videos. Your materials are far superior than many other instructors. Respect 👌

[@paullevingstone4834]

As always Adam, your video was brilliant. Quick moving and packed with useful information and very smooth demonstration and very clear explanation

[@ChallusMercer]

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

[@samhigens]

This is absolutely the way of explanation, example and demo I was looking for the given topic. And in the process you made me fall in love with VsCode

[@yosh_2024]

This is wonderful. The way Adam explains fundamentals, covers scenarios and then gives demo on it. Thank you Adam. Is this deployment applicable for all the Azure contents as ADF code etc ?

[@TheMaverickjc29]

Great content Adam, the more you dig into Azure the more layers there are, I am studying for AZ104, but then moving to developer and finally devops, but you start with the portal, move to cli or PS, but then you realize that on top of all that you have ARM, so I'm now focusing on ARM to make it easier and more like a pro. Thanks for all the effort and time.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Sounds great! Best of luck :)

[@user-es8fr5kh3l]

Finally found a channel that will make me closer towards passing the AZ-203/204, its amazing how clear and well structured the content is

Clear language and excellent stuff. Adam you are great!

[@nightwintertooth9502]

Couldn't avoid having to learn base ARM template syntax as there are some resources you can't deploy without knowing it from tools like terraform. Ran into this when automating the Microsoft.AAD provider for domain services.

[@RAHUL1181995]

This video made everything crystal clear. Thank you.

[@mrghmusic6754]

What a video is made! Hats off sir

[@sujaynilakhe1522]

Very well explained...Thank you Adam...

[@usnoozeyuloosey]

There are some prereq's you need (if you are new like me) - create the file as a .json or the snippets wont show for you. - to use the terminal install the Powershell module, from the extension store, as well as the Arm extension - to also use the terminal update PS to version 7, as PS from within VSCode, uses the OS PS version. It will fail on version 5.1 as this is the inbuilt PS version - "set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned -scope currentuser" as bypass does not show the module installed and it must be escalated to allow remote signed modules as the repository is most likely not a trusted repo. - install the AZ module in order to use the "connect-AzAccount" command.

[@AzureDevOpsPulse]

Hi Adam, I can't thank you enough. You are amazing. I really love the way you explain us. God bless you and I subscribed to your channel now.

[@gambo310]

I laughed at 24:48 when you speed the video. I could perfectly see you like "Wtf why is it not working" before realizing it was because it needed a number lol. Seriously though great content I am looking forward to going through these ARM series through the next few days!!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Yeah, although I didn't want to cut it out, since I think it's very misleading how CLI asks for order ID rather than value, I always forget since I never pass via command prompt. hehe! Thanks! :)

[@tomaszbarc9497]

Hi Adam. Great, high quality tutorials! Keep up your awesome job! Pozdro

Very good explanation. Thank you.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

You are welcome!

[@akshaythanai7510]

Thanks Adam for making this crisp and clear demonstration of ARM Templates. Would be of great help if you could explain in the next video of ARM templates as to how we can reverse engineer ARM templates in (Logic Apps or Functions etc) like what happens in ADF (Import/Export). Developers would find it easier to create apps and then make a template out of it for deployment on different environments.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Ha! That's the plan, Logic Apps template generation is definitely on the roadmap. Functions not so much as the ARM template for functions usually is very simple because you don't use ARM to deploy code (unless using deployment center, but that's for very small projects). To deploy functions resource you should use arm ARM but for the code you should use Azure DevOps. Import/Export functionality and Portal marketplace ARM generation are also on the roadmap for ARM series, but need to cover basics first since they have some small 'errors' you might say, which require some knowledge to know how they should be fixed. ps. deployment of Functions is on the roadmap for Azure DevOps though! Thanks for watching and giving feedback :)

[@akshaythanai7510]

Thanks again for enlightening about the roadmap :-) Anxiously waiting for the next one. Great job. Cheers !!!
