In this article, you are provided with an example of this approach.
When considering the use of ARM templates for modifying the configuration to existing instances of an Azure SQL Database, it is important to note that, by default, template deployments are incremental in nature. As the result, the scope of changes is limited to resources and their properties, which are explicitly referenced in the template, while all others within the same resource group remain intact. This simplifies template authoring and minimizes duration of template deployment.
