What is ResourceLink?

A ResourceLink, in the context of cloud computing and infrastructure as code, is a reference or connection between two or more resources within a deployment or configuration. It specifies a dependency or relationship, allowing resources to interact or depend on each other during provisioning, deployment, or operation. ResourceLinks are commonly used in configuration files (e.g., ARM templates, Terraform configurations) to define how resources should be connected and how data or parameters should be passed between them. For example, a ResourceLink might be used to connect a virtual machine to a virtual network or to provide the connection string from a database to an application service. Without more context, a ResourceLink can refer to other technologies or implementation.
