Question

I want to create resource group and deploy resource using ARM template from visual Studio

When I tried the following example by copying the script and put it in my Visual Studio. When I try to run the Deployment template comes out blank.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/deploy-to-subscription#create-resource-group-and-deploy-resources

How do i run this the arm template?

Answer 1

Schema that is used in your example uses "subscription level schema"

https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2018-05-01/subscriptionDeploymentTemplate.json#

As per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/deploy-to-subscription

To deploy templates at the subscription level, you use Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell.

I used this schema "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#" I used this default schema..and it detects that file as "deployment template"

Answer 2

Currently VS doesn't handle subscription level deployment templates. VS won't deploy them via the UI and if the schema is set properly it won't even recognize it as an ARM template.
