Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Resource Manager (ARM) and ARM Templates/Bicep

An Azure administrator is configuring deployment pipelines using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. Consider the following statement:

Statement: The default deployment mode for ARM templates is Incremental, which ensures that resources already present in the target resource group but not defined in the template are left unmodified.

Is this statement true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is true because the default deployment mode for Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates is Incremental, which preserves existing resources in the resource group that are not defined in the deployment template.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the default deployment mode for Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates.
The default deployment mode is Incremental.
To determine how Azure handles resource groups during standard template deployments.
2
Analyze the behavior of Incremental deployment mode on resources not defined in the template.
Existing resources that are not declared in the template remain unaffected in the resource group.
To verify if the statement's description of Incremental mode is accurate.
