Summary
Azure Resource Manager templates have a few features designed for template reuse. In this module, you used a function in an expression to specify a unique value where you needed it. You put that expression in a variable to easily reuse it in several places in your template and for ease of maintenance of the value. You also created tags to track your resources and template parameter files to store and track template parameter values for different deployment environments.
In this module, you:
- Created an expression for a unique value by using Azure Resource Manager template functions.
- Reused your expression by storing it in an Azure Resource Manager template variable.
- Organized and tracked your deployed Azure resources by using resource tags.
- Managed multiple deployment parameters by using Azure Resource Manager template parameter files.
