Azure Workflows

By design, workflows can be long-running, repeatable, frequent, parallelizable, interruptible, stoppable, and restartable. They can be suspended and resumed; they can also continue after an unexpected interruption, such as a network outage or computer restart. Follwoing are some of the many benefits of using workflows:

Azure Resource Manager Template

{
    "$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",

    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",

    "parameters": { },

    "variables": { },

    "resources": [ ],

    "outputs": { }
}
  • $Schema: Location of the JSON schema file that describes the version of the template language.
  • contentVersion: Version of the template (such as 1.0.0.0).
  • parameters: Optional values that are provided when deployment is executed to customize resource deployment.
  • resources: A manageable item that is available through Azure. Some common resources are a virtual machine, storage account, web app, database, and virtual network, but there are many more.
  • outputs: Values that are returned after deployment
