How to rebuild a complex azure environment

Question

I have a complex azure environment where there are so many components and dependencies.

Should I divide it to multiple deployments ? Even one resource has lots of dependencies.

Such as with the keys involving service fabric

According to your description, as 4c74356b41 says, I suggest you could use arm template to achieve your requirement.

Resource Manager template - A JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines one or more resources to deploy to a resource group. It also defines the dependencies between the deployed resources. The template can be used to deploy the resources consistently and repeatedly.

By using arm template. you could use linked templates to link different resources to achieve one resource has lots of dependencies.

More details about what is arm template and getting started, you could refer to this article .

Besides, there are also multiple arm template example, you could refer to this url to know how to create the template.

Besides, if you have created a resource group and it contains multiple resources, you could directly download its deploy template for next deployment by using automation script feature.

Notice: Not all the resource will be automatic included in the auto template.
