Solution monitoring in an edge-based solution involves monitoring both your edge and cloud environments. Azure IoT Operations observability capabilities let you monitor your edge environment using cloud-based tools enabling end-to-end monitoring of your IoT solution.

## ARM templates and Bicep

To implement infrastructure as code for your Azure IoT solutions, use Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates). The template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for your project. Bicep is a new language that offers the same capabilities as ARM templates but with a syntax that's easier to use.
