For a more declarative approach to your resource deployments, Azure offers two types of deployment modes: incremental and complete. In complete mode, only the resources in the ARM template will be deployed to the resource group, and everything else will be deleted. In PowerShell, you can specify a mode when deploying resources, and in this hands-on lab, that is your objective.
