Azure Deployment Options

As the number of options, to deploy Azure resources, grows I thought I would make a note of the ones I am aware off

• Azure Portal - The wonderful UI we all know and love
• Azure Resource Explorer - Whilst this could technically be used it is more useful as an exploratory tool
• Azure CLI - The cross platform command line utility
• Powershell - What more can be said
• ARM Templates - Templates that can be fed into the Azure native IaC engine
• Bicep - The new meta DSL that compiles back to ARM templates
• Terraform - Hashicorp cross cloud IaC DSL and platform
• Pulumi - Cross environment IaC DSL and platform

I am sure that there are other options that I have missed, feel free to remind me
