Which deployment method retains resources not specified in the template?

Incremental
Complete
Standard
Default

The correct answer is: Incremental

The incremental deployment method is designed to only add or modify the resources that are specified in the deployment template. When using this method, Azure compares the current state of the resources in the resource group with the definitions in the template. Any resources that are already existing and not mentioned in the template remain untouched. This allows for a more selective approach to updates, where only specified changes are applied while preserving existing resources that aren’t explicitly included. This approach is particularly useful for larger projects or environments where certain resources must remain intact, such as shared resources or dependencies that should not be altered during a deployment. It helps in minimizing disruption and maintaining stability in the resource environment, especially when making iterative changes. In contrast, the complete deployment method would remove resources that are not specified in the template, which can lead to unintended deletions and issues if not carefully managed. Other choices like Standard or Default are not recognized as specific Azure deployment methods, making them less relevant in this context.
