Although using Visual Studio Code is the recommended option, if you're new to Azure deployment, it may be more challenging to create an ARM template (especially in the beginning). To get around this, you can start by generating a template using the Azure portal option. You will be able to configure your deployment in the Azure portal and download the corresponding ARM template. This template can be saved and reused in the future, and will serve as a good starting point.

Many experienced template developers use this method to generate templates when they try to deploy Azure resources that they aren't 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/).

Finally, you can also select to **edit template**, which will allow you to edit the template manually.
