ARM template outputs in Azure - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to define an output named 'storageAccountName' in an ARM template.

Azure

"outputs": {
  "storageAccountName": {
    "type": "string",
    "value": [1]
  }
}

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

A"parameters('storageAccountName')"

B"resourceGroup().name"

C"[variables('storageAccountName')]"

D"deployment().name"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using parameters instead of variables for this output.

Referencing deployment or resource group names incorrectly.

The output value should reference the variable 'storageAccountName' using variables('storageAccountName').

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to output the resource ID of a storage account named 'myStorage'.

Azure

"outputs": {
  "storageAccountId": {
    "type": "string",
    "value": [1]
  }
}

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

A"subscription().id"

B"resourceGroup().id"

C"parameters('storageAccountName')"

D"[resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', 'myStorage')]"

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using resourceGroup or subscription IDs instead of the specific resource ID.

Referencing parameters without constructing the resource ID.

The resourceId function constructs the full resource ID for the storage account named 'myStorage'.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the output value that tries to return the primary connection string of a storage account resource.

Azure

"outputs": {
  "connectionString": {
    "type": "string",
    "value": [1]
  }
}

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

A"[listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', variables('storageAccountName')), '2021-04-01').keys[0].value]"

B"listKeys('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', variables('storageAccountName'), '2021-04-01').keys[0].value"

C"listKeys(resourceGroup().name, variables('storageAccountName'), '2021-04-01').keys[0].value"

D"listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageAccountName')), '2021-04-01').keys[1].value"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing resource type and name separately instead of a full resource ID.

Using incorrect index for keys array.

Using parameters instead of variables inconsistently.

The listKeys function requires the full resource ID as the first argument, followed by the API version. The correct syntax uses resourceId to get the resource ID.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to output the public IP address of a resource named 'myPublicIP'.

Azure

"outputs": {
  "publicIPAddress": {
    "type": "string",
    "value": "[[1]('Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses', [2]).ipAddress]"
  }
}

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

Cvariables('publicIPName')

DresourceId

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using resourceId instead of reference for output value.

Hardcoding the resource name instead of using variables.

The reference function is used to get the ipAddress property of the public IP resource. The resource name is stored in the variable 'publicIPName'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to output a dictionary with the storage account name, resource group, and location.

Azure

"outputs": {
  "storageInfo": {
    "type": "object",
    "value": {
      "name": [1],
      "resourceGroup": [2],
      "location": [3]
    }
  }
}

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

A"[variables('storageAccountName')]"

B"[resourceGroup().name]"

C"[resourceGroup().location]"

D"parameters('location')"

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using parameters for resource group info instead of resourceGroup().

Mixing up location and name values.

The storage account name comes from a variable. The resource group name and location come from the resourceGroup() function.
