  • resourceGroup().location instead of -Location

• Tag

  • Automation create tags

• Outputs

  • Pass information for additonal automation (PowerShell best practices)
  • information to end users (publicIPs, entry points)

  • Reference assumptions by complex variables
  • use ARM template funcitons for building variables
