Visual Studio comes in multiple SKUs and flavors. Developing ARM templates can be performed using Visual Studio as well as Visual Code. Although Visual Studio provides boilerplate PowerShell code for the deployment of ARM templates as well as scaffolding code for some of the widely-used resources, it is also fast and easy to get started with the development activities.
