AZ-204 – Question 17

HOTSPOT –

You are configuring a new development environment for a Java application.

The environment requires a Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS), several storage accounts, and networking components.

The VMSS must not be created until the storage accounts have been successfully created and an associated load balancer and virtual network is configured.

How should you complete the Azure Resource Manager template? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

Correct Answer: 

Box 1: copyIndex –

Notice that the name of each resource includes the copyIndex() function, which returns the current iteration in the loop. copyIndex() is zero-based.

Box 2: copy –

By adding the copy element to the resources section of your template, you can dynamically set the number of resources to deploy.

Box 3: dependsOn –

Example:

"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets",

"apiVersion": "2020-06-01",

"name": "[variables(‘namingInfix’)]",

"location": "[parameters(‘location’)]",

"sku": {

"name": "[parameters(‘vmSku’)]",

"tier": "Standard",

"capacity": "[parameters(‘instanceCount’)]"

},

"dependsOn": [

"[resourceId(‘Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers’, variables(‘loadBalancerName’))]",

"[resourceId(‘Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks’, variables(‘virtualNetworkName’))]"

],
