IBM::Azure::Template

This type provides the ability to deploy Microsoft™ Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. ARM template outputs can be referenced by other HEAT resources in the blueprint.

In the blueprint designer, you can configure the properties that the following table includes. Properties are listed as either core or extended. Each type of property is located in separate sections of the heat resource that you can view in the blueprint designer. You set the core properties in the properties section and set the extended properties in the metadata section of the blueprint.

Table 1. Properties
Name	Type	Required	Core or extended	Description
deployment_mode	String	False	Core	The type of deployment mode: `Incremental` or `Complete`.
name	String	True	Core	The name of the deployment.
parameters	String	False	Core	Parameters to populate the ARM template with.
parameters_url	String	False	Core	A URL to a parameter resource.
resource_group_name	String	True	Core	The name of the resource group.
template	String	False	Core	The inline JSON representation of the ARM template.
template_url	String	False	Core	A URL to an ARM template.

Table 2. Attributes
Attribute	Type	Description
name	String	The name of the network security group.
network_security_group_id	String	The ID of the network security group.
show	String	The details of the template.

Attributes

You can reference all outputs of the ARM template as attributes. For example, assume that an ARM template has an output section like the following code:

"outputs": {
      "storageAccountName": {
          "type": "string",
          "value": "[variables('storageAccountName')]"
      }
  }

In this case, you can refer to the storageAccountName as an attribute.

This type also has the show attribute, which provides details about the template.

Example

This example uses a parameter URL:

resources:
   template_resource:
     type: IBM::Azure::Template
     properties:
         name: { get_param: "OS::stack_name" }
         template_url: "http://server.com/arm.json"
         parameters_url: "http://server.com/arm-params.json'
         deployment_mode: "complete"
    metadata:
         azure_properties:
            resource_group: { get_param: resource_group }

This example uses inline parameters:

resources:
  template_resource:
    type: IBM::Azure::Template
    properties:
      name: { get_param: "OS::stack_name" }
      template_url: http://server.com/arm.json
      parameters:    
         storageAccountType: "Premium_LRS"
         deployment_mode: "complete"
      metadata:
         azure_properties:
            resource_group: { get_param: resource_group }
