Azure ARM Template Deployment Without Template Linking

Question

I'm having trouble finding documentation (although there seems to be hints) on how to deploy AzRM templates in a .Net application using Azure.Resource.Manager without requiring the use of Template Links. I want to generate templates on the fly and deploy from an in-memory template and parameters file, is this possible?

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this would be to call into the Azure powershell. Then you can just write your ARM template to a file, and deploy that file with:

Switch-AzureMode -Name AzureResourceManager    
New-AzureResourceGroup -name <resource group name> -Location 'westus' -TemplateFile <json file location>

To do the auth use Add-AzureAccount and switch to the sub that you want to use with Select-AzureSubscription .

To call that cmdlet unattended see: auto login Azure powershell
