You can do this in a better way using Azure Devops Pipelines :

1. Check if your organisation have already a dev.azure.com account (Azure Devops), otherwise, you can still use the free/dev version..
2. Create an azure repository or github Repos where to put your ARM template.
3. Configure your release pipeline with an ARM Deploy task.
4. You can organize the 20 deployments you have into stages, and configure them to run the way you want!
5. You could customise each deployment depending on your inputs (VM's name, Vnet's name, Stroage Account's name, SKU, VM's size, OS type, ...)
