Which Azure Resource Manager deployment mode removes resources not defined in the template?

Incremental
Complete
Standard
Automatic

The correct answer is: Complete

The complete deployment mode in Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is designed to remove resources that are not defined in the template. When a deployment is executed in complete mode, it ensures that the resources that exist in the resource group but are not listed in the template are deleted. This is useful when you want to make sure that the deployed resources strictly match the specified configuration in the template. In contrast, incremental mode only adds or updates resources that are defined within the deployment template, without deleting any existing resources that are not specified. This means that if there are extra resources in the resource group that are not defined in the template, they will remain untouched. The other options like standard and automatic do not align with the ARM deployment modes, as they are not recognized as valid deployment modes in Azure Resource Manager. Understanding these differences is crucial for managing resources effectively in Azure, especially when deploying large or complex resource groups where you want to maintain tight control over the environment.
