Visual Studio Code Marketplace Extensions
The first post is below
So we start with Visual Studio Code no extensions installed
Visual Studio Code Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Tools installed from the Extensions Marketplace
Once installed the editing view of the ARM Template now looks like this, ARM functions are colour coded
The extension also contains all the ARM functions
And any variables you have specified
So as you can see just one extension installed already can make the JSON template easier to work with you can then explore the Extensions Marketplace to find other tools
The ones I use so far are:
- Rest CLI
- PowerShell
- GitHub Pull Requests
You will see the extensions have how many times it has been downloaded and many cases a rating from previous users.
Next post I will try to cover basic GitHub, though recommend spending more time with a Cloud Guru / Pluralsight course for deeper understanding
