A great resource here...
Use ARM template test toolkit
"The Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) test toolkit checks whether your template uses recommended practices. When your template isn't compliant with recommended practices, it returns a list of warnings with the suggested changes. By using the test toolkit, you can learn how to avoid common problems in template development. This article describes how to run the test toolkit and how to add or remove tests"

IMO the entire series of training information for AZ700 is quite good. Full of great information on deploying resources in Azure.
