easy

Complete the code to define the resource group location in an ARM template.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a function like resourceGroup() instead of a string.

Leaving the location blank or misspelling the region name.

The location property in an ARM template specifies the Azure region where the resource group or resource will be deployed. It must be a valid Azure region string like eastus.

Complete the code to reference a parameter named 'storageAccountName' in an ARM template.

Azure

"name": "[1]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aparameters('storageAccountName')

Bvariables('storageAccountName')

CresourceGroup().storageAccountName

Doutputs('storageAccountName')

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using variables() instead of parameters().

Trying to access parameters as properties of resourceGroup().

To use a parameter value in an ARM template, you use the parameters() function with the parameter name.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the ARM template snippet to correctly define a resource type.

Azure

"type": "[1]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AstorageAccounts/Microsoft.Storage

BMicrosoft.Storage/storageAccounts

CMicrosoft.Storage:storageAccounts

DstorageAccounts

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Reversing the order of provider and resource type.

Using a colon instead of a slash.

Using only the resource type without the provider namespace.

The type property must be the full resource provider namespace followed by the resource type, separated by a slash.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a resource with a name from parameters and a location from variables.

Azure

{
  "name": "[1]",
  "location": "[2]"
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aparameters('vmName')

Bvariables('location')

Cparameters('location')

Dvariables('vmName')

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing parameters and variables for name and location.

Using parameters for location when it is stored in variables.

The resource name is usually set from a parameter like vmName, and location can be set from a variable holding the location string.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a resource with type, apiVersion, and dependsOn properties.

Azure

{
  "type": "[1]",
  "apiVersion": "[2]",
  "dependsOn": ["[3]"]
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong API version strings.

Incorrect resource type format.

Not specifying dependsOn or using wrong resource ID.

The type is the resource type, apiVersion is the API version string, and dependsOn lists resource IDs that must be created first.
