“Modern enterprises are engaged in near-constant development, testing, and deploying software applications, which necessitates a flexible infrastructure that can respond quickly and securely to ever-changing user demands!” – FORBES
The accelerated cloud adoption has ushered in Infrastructure as Code, which has tremendous speed and agility benefits for deploying, changing, and tearing down services for virtual infrastructure. It has in fact enabled enterprises to interact with infrastructure in a programmatic way to automate lifecycle management.
To be specific, in the past few years, organizations have switched to a data-driven approach for making accurate business decisions.

When shifting to a better data platform like Azure Synapse Analytics has a lot of benefits, the process of transition should also be a hassle-free one! This is where Azure Resource Management (ARM ) templates step in to help you automate your deployment with the power of infrastructure as a code.
Being industry leaders in data strategy and digital transformation, here in this blog, we have explained everything about automating infrastructure deployments, Azure Resource Manager templates, its benefits, and how we are enhancing and accelerating Azure Synapse Analytics adoption using these templates!
Without much ado, let’s plunge in and explore!
Today, enterprises need to repeatedly deploy and redeploy their solutions to cloud and ensure their infrastructure is in a reliable state. As infrastructure has become a part of the iterative process, the division between operations and development teams has disappeared and organizations are in desperate need of a solution that will help them manage infrastructure codes in a unified process.
This is where (IaC), infrastructure as a code, steps in to overcome all the technical impediments that modern enterprises are facing today. By embracing an IaC model, you can easily define the infrastructure that needs to be deployed. This infrastructure code will become a part of your project. You can also store the infrastructure code in a repository, so that anyone on your team can run the code if they want to deploy similar environments.
If you are finding ways to reduce the burden of multiple systems and create a single architecture foundation, your enterprise must switch to a best-in-class data analytics platform like Azure Synapse Analytics.
But deploying this platform using outdated and manual techniques will increase the time for deployment, and also, you will not be able to manage and upscale the platform in an orchestrated manner.
Looking for a solution to speed up the deployment and increase the scalability of your Azure Synapse Analytics platform?
Well, Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template has got your back!
An ARM template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that will help you define the infrastructure and configuration for your Azure Synapse Analytics platform. As these templates leverage a declarative syntax, you can just state what you want to deploy without having to write a sequence of programming commands. It is just as simple as specifying the resources you need to deploy and the properties for those resources. Deploying your Azure Synapse Analytics platform using ARM templates will deliver a lot of immediate and long-term benefits!
Having discussed the benefits, let us now see how ARM templates are leveraged for automating the deployment of resources in Azure Synapse Platform.
The below infrastructure as a code (IaC) deploys Azure Log Analytics, which is a monitoring tool that enables users to monitor the logs of resources that are configured in it. This will be kept as a centralized resource where each Azure resource will be connected and also the respective logs can be viewed here!
Once adding all the values and template generation, the template can be deployed using Azure portal or any of your preferred deployment options. The deployment history, the parameter values passed on and the other output values can be reviewed using the Azure portal. As you can see, setting up your Azure Synapse Analytics platform using ARM templates is super easy! You can provision your desired infrastructure in a snap and move forward creating more value out of your data.
Now, we will share an instance of how we automate the deployment of Azure Synapse Analytics Objects by promoting the code from the lower environment to higher environments.
First, our data engineers will publish/create the required Azure Synapse Analytics objects in the Development environment. Now with ARM, the objects will be turned into templates and moved to the ‘Testing’ environment using CI/CD piplelines.
Once moved to QA the code will be deployed as objects and again a similar process will be followed in the ‘Production’ environment. Finally, all the Azure Synapse Analytics objects will be deployed successfully! And as you know, with codes your deployment would be performed in a hassle-free manner!
Want to streamline your deployment in a clearly defined workflow? Our DataOps experts are all geared up to spin as many as you want! We are Microsoft Gold partners! And we have automated deployment for various Azure resources.
