To meet these challenges, you can automate deployments and use the practice of infrastructure as code. In code, you define the infrastructure that needs to be deployed. The infrastructure code becomes part of your project. Just like application code, you store the infrastructure code in a source repository and version it. Any one on your team can run the code and deploy similar environments.

To implement infrastructure as code for your Azure solutions, use Azure Resource Manager templates. The template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for your project. The template uses declarative syntax, which lets you state what you intend to deploy without having to write the sequence of programming commands to create it. In the template, you specify the resources to deploy and the properties for those resources.

***Declarative syntax**: Resource Manager templates allow you to create and deploy an entire Azure infrastructure declaratively. For example, you can deploy not only virtual machines, but also the network infrastructure, storage systems and any other resources you may need.

***Repeatable results**: Repeatedly deploy your infrastructure throughout the development lifecycle and have confidence your resources are deployed in a consistent manner. Templates are idempotent, which means you can deploy the same template many times and get the same resource types in the same state. You can develop one template that represents the desired state, rather than developing lots of separate templates to represent updates.

***Exportable code**: You can get a template for an existing resource group by either exporting the current state of the resource group, or viewing the template used for a particular deployment. Viewing the [exported template](export-template-portal.md) is a helpful way to learn about the template syntax.

Creating a Resource Manager template from scratch is not an easy task, especially if you are new to Azure deployment and you are not familiar with the JSON format. Using the Azure portal, you can configure a resource, for example an Azure Storage account. Before you deploy the resource, you can export your configuration into a Resource Manager template. You can save the template and reuse it in the future.

Many experienced template developers use this method to generate templates when they try to deploy Azure resources that they are not familiar with. For more information about exporting templates by using the portal, see [Export resource groups to templates](../management/manage-resource-groups-portal.md#export-resource-groups-to-templates). The other way to find a working template is from [Azure Quickstart templates](https://azure.microsoft.com/resources/templates/).
