Common Mistakes

Using a compute or network resource type instead of storage account type.

Misspelling the resource type string.

The type field specifies the resource type. For a storage account, it must be Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using outdated or unsupported API versions.

Using API versions for other resource types.

The apiVersion must be a valid and recent version supported by Azure for the resource type. '2021-04-01' is a valid API version for storage accounts.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the resource name property to correctly reference a parameter named 'storageName'.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using dot notation instead of expression syntax.

Using variable syntax instead of parameter syntax.

Using quotes without expression brackets.

In ARM templates, to reference a parameter, use the expression syntax: [parameters('parameterName')].

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to define the location and sku name for the storage account resource.

Azure

"resources": [ { "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts", "apiVersion": "2021-04-01", "name": "[parameters('storageName')]", "location": "[1]", "sku": { "name": "[2]" } } ]

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Hardcoding location instead of using a parameter.

Using an invalid sku name.

The location is usually set from a parameter for flexibility, and the sku name defines the storage account type, such as 'Standard_LRS'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to add tags with environment and department to the storage account resource.

Azure

"resources": [ { "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts", "apiVersion": "2021-04-01", "name": "[parameters('storageName')]", "location": "[parameters('location')]", "sku": { "name": "Standard_LRS" }, "tags": { "environment": "[1]", "department": "[2]", "owner": "[3]" } } ]

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

A[parameters('envTag')]

Bproduction

C[parameters('ownerTag')]

Dfinance

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing parameter syntax and hardcoded strings incorrectly.

Using quotes incorrectly around parameters.

Tags can be set using parameters for flexibility or hardcoded values. Here, environment and owner use parameters, and department is hardcoded as 'finance'.
