ARM template review
Direct answer
ARM template review inspects Azure Resource Manager JSON for deployment structure, resource relationships, and architecture risk before deployment. In Cloudeval, this term is used in an Azure-first review context where diagrams, reports, evidence, CLI, GitHub, and MCP workflows help teams decide whether infrastructure is safe enough to ship.
How Cloudeval uses it
Cloudeval ties the concept to actual project inputs, report outputs, evidence, and review workflows where the current product supports them.
Support boundary
Use Azure, ARM JSON, Bicep-generated ARM JSON, reports, GitHub, CLI, and MCP examples first. Avoid implying unsupported multi-cloud or Terraform parity.
