I'm working on an ARM template to
A. deploy a resource group B. deploy an ASE env.
To do both, as I understand I need to run a deployment on scope subscription level
New-AzDeployment -Name TestingASE -TemplateFile $HOME/azuredeploy.json -TemplateParameterFile $HOME/parameters.json -Location 'West Europe'
My template is pretty long already - so here are the most important parts (I think).
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2018-05-01/subscriptionDeploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.1",
"parameters": {
....
"resources": [
// Resource Group
{
"type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups",
"apiVersion": "2018-05-01",
"location": "[parameters('Location')]",
"name": "[parameters('rgName')]",
"properties": {}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments",
"apiVersion": "2019-05-01",
"name": "storageDeployment",
"resourceGroup": "[parameters('rgName')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups/', parameters('rgName'))]"
],
"properties": {
"mode": "Incremental",
"template": {
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {},
"variables": {},
"resources": [
....
{
"apiVersion": "2019-04-01",
"name": "[parameters('asevnetname')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks",
"location": "[parameters('Location')]",
"properties": {
"addressSpace": {
"addressPrefixes": [
"[parameters('addressPrefix')]"
]
},
"subnets": [
{
"name": "[parameters('subnetName')]",
...
{
"apiVersion": "2019-02-01",
"type": "Microsoft.Web/hostingEnvironments",
"name": "[parameters('aseName')]",
"kind": "ASEV2",
"location": "[parameters('Location')]",
"properties": {
"name": "[parameters('aseName')]",
"location": "[parameters('Location')]",
"InternalLoadBalancingMode": "[parameters('ilbMode')]",
"virtualNetwork": {
"Id": "[resourceId(subscription().id, resourceGroup().Id, 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets',parameters('asevnetname'),parameters('subnetName'))]"
}
....
This give me an output "The template function 'RESOURCEGROUP' is not expected at thislocation" As far as I understand I'm following the guidelines https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/template-functions-resource#resourcegroup
The resourceGroup() function can't be used in a template that is deployed at the subscription level. It can only be used in templates that are deployed to a resource group. You can use the resourceGroup() function in a linked or nested template (with inner scope) that targets a resource group, even when the parent template is deployed to the subscription. In that scenario, the linked or nested template is deployed at the resource group level.
Thanks for helping with this.
