ARM TTK

The ARM Template Tool Kit is a new static code analyser for ARM templates created by Microsoft. It’s an open-source PowerShell library that you can use to validate your templates against a series of test cases. These test cases are generic and designed to validate that your templates are following best practice, a little like the PowerShell PSScriptAnalyzer tool. The ARM TTK tests for things like:

• Templates are using a valid schema
• Locations are not hardcoded
• Outputs don’t contain secrets
• ID’s are derived from resource ID’s
• Templates do not contain blanks
