Do you use Az/AzureRM cmdlets to deploy? If so you can parse the output of the the PS script to get the names and other details during your CI/CD.. – bit

You could leverage the outputs section of an ARM template for this.

These values are recorded in the deployment created which you could fetch, either using the Get-AzResourceGroupDeployment cmdlet or az group deployment show command as documented in this section.

Assuming that you use New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment cmdlet here is what I do to get the json output.

$jsonOutput = New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -Name  $DeploymentName `
        -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName `
        -TemplateFile $TemplateFileToDeploy `
        -TemplateParameterObject $TemplateParameters `
        -Force -Verbose `
        -ErrorVariable ErrorMessages -DeploymentDebugLogLevel

Thereafter, I use either the $jsonOuput.Outputs which contain template outputs or the $jsonOutput.Parameters which in my case contains the resource names and other stuff.
