The primary purpose of ARM templates is to enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for Azure solutions. They are JSON files that define the resources you need to deploy. Using templates ensures that your infrastructure is deployed consistently and repeatably, which is ideal for creating identical development, testing, and production environments. While other services handle monitoring (Azure Monitor) or governance (Azure Policy), ARM templates focus specifically on declarative and idempotent resource deployment.
