Azure pros share their tips on managing Azure resources with ARM, serverless compute, and Arc-enabled data services.

Microsoft senior cloud advocate Thomas Maurer highlighted ARM templates as a way to deploy and manage Azure resources.

With an infrastructure as code approach, users can even automate deployments.

Maurer recommends the Microsoft Learn learning path for those looking to get started.
