Serialization

The Azure lexicon serializes resources into ARM template JSON.

Building

Run chant build to produce an ARM template from your declarations:

chant build
# Writes dist/template.json

The generated template includes:

• $schema pointing to the ARM deployment template schema
• contentVersion: "1.0.0.0"
• parameters section for input parameters
• resources array with typed Azure resources
• outputs section for stack outputs

Deploying

Use the Azure CLI to deploy the generated template:

az deployment group create \
  --resource-group my-rg \
  --template-file dist/template.json
