Easy to set up and stable, but is difficult to maintain
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the vast resources available online."
  • "Unlike Terraform, Azure Resource Manager is hard to maintain and modularize and has room for improvement."

What is our primary use case?

I am a DevOps engineer and I use the solution for the templates.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the vast resources available online. The solution is well documented in the API by Microsoft.

What needs improvement?

Unlike Terraform, Azure Resource Manager is hard to maintain and modularize and has room for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for over five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. Depending on the API, simply call in the rest of the Azure Resource Manager API and we will complete the provisioning.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. The difficulty arises when we need to provision something complex or sophisticated, as we then have to write a considerable amount of code.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is open-source.

What other advice do I have?

I give the solution a seven out of ten. There is no limit to what can be done with Azure Resource Manager Templates, as they are just APIs and are fully documented. However, they can be difficult to maintain.

I started using the solution because it was the only one to provision at the time.

We can use the solution in some cases, but it is not suitable for all projects. We must adhere to the requirements; for instance, Terraform is usually the preferred choice as it has the state, but there are times when Azure Resource Manager Template is more suitable as Terraform has limitations that Azure Resource Manager Template does not.
