How to make your deployment simple and flexible with nested Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template

[@InstantNoodlePocky]

Hi Frank! Quick question! I have a super big build that requires me to use an S3 instance. However for actual runtime after the build is created I can scale down to an F1. Is there a way to start an app azure service plan as an S3 and then as a dependency of my source control setting I can scale down to an F1 instance? Thanks!

Great Question @Alex Kwan. I see 2 potential way ( there is probably more :) ) - explore the in preview deployment scripts: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deployment-script-template?tabs=CLI - Have an Azure Function that monitor your resources, and scale down the new one.

I ended up using msdeploy extension and pointing it to a release in my GitHub page. This let me compile on my machine or in the future a GitHub action and deploy to an F1 machine. Is there somewhere with better documentation on arm template extensions? It's scary that there are some parameters to the extensions but your also going In blind if it's gonna work or not

Hi Frank, Now I'm able to deploy my resource using ARM template. I have created Integration account using ARM template, but I'm not able to upload liquid files there. Can you please help me out with this. NOTE: My liquid files are in github account. I want to upload into Integration Account using azure devops.

Hey @AV SaiKrishna, ARM template are creating resources. To move code and/or files you need to use different alternative. Where are you trying to put the files? There is the deployment scripts (c5m.ca/28) but it's still in preview. Depending on what you are trying to do maybe other options are better and easier.

@@fboucheros Thanks for your reply Just to answer your question. In integration Account we have components like schemas, maps, certificates and so on.. I want to deploy my liquid files in maps component in a automated way. Can you please verify the link again it looks like there is no deployments scripts.

Oh, my mistake was the liquid files. Are you talking about the online file drop service? Logic App can do that. My question is: What are you deploying? (because if it's "the" logic app... we need something else :) )

Thank you @Prashanth Kommana, It's possible to Export from the Azure portal. Go in your resouce Group than from the left menu option clict the "Export" button. The portal as changed a little since these videos but the tips are valid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6q8hXqphLOlpJI and kzbin.info/www/bejne/jILCo5yuqc2Deas
