To assist with creating Azure Resource Manager templates, you can export a template from existing resources as either a Bicep file or an ARM JSON template. The exported template helps you understand the syntax and properties needed for resource deployment. To streamline future deployments, use the exported template as a starting point and customize it for your needs. While the export process generates a functional template, most exported templates require adjustments before they can be used for deployment.
Resource Manager enables you to pick one or more resources for exporting to a template. You can focus on exactly the resources you need in the template.
