How to select VM T-shirt size in Azure ARM Template












0














I have a VM deloyment template where i am defining the VM size as T-Shirt Sizes for example small = Standard_DS2_v2, medium = Standard_E4s_v3 and large = Standard_E4s_v3.



I have defined them as an array as shown below in variables section



 "parameters": {
"vmSpecs": {
"type": "array"
}
},

"variables": {
"vmSizeType" :[{
"small" : "Standard_DS2_v2",
"medium": "Standard_E4s_v3",
"large" : "Standard_E32s_v3"
}]
},

"resources": [
{
"name": "[parameters('vmSpecs')[copyIndex()].vmName]",
"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"apiVersion": "2018-06-01",
"dependsOn": [
"VMNIC0Copy",
"[variables('storageAccountName')]"
],
"copy": {
"name": "VMCopy",
"count": "[length(parameters('vmSpecs'))]"
},

"properties": {
"licenseType": "[parameters('vmSpecs')[copyIndex()].licenseType]",
"hardwareProfile": {
"vmSize": "[parameters('vmSpecs')variables('vmSizeType')[copyIndex()].vmSize[1]]"
}
}


In parameters file



"vmSpecs": {
"value": [
{ //vm01
"vmName": "test",
"dnsDomain": "domain.com",
"vmSize": "medium"
}
}


My question is how do i input vmSize and it selects the size based on what that has been defined

          like you normally would (using dot notation) access object properties in almost any language:



          "vmSizeType" :{ << should be an object, you only make it harder making it an array
          "small" : "Standard_DS2_v2",
          "medium": "Standard_E4s_v3",
          "large" : "Standard_E32s_v3"
          }
          ...
          "vmSize": "[variables('vmSizeType')[parameters('vmSpecs')[copyIndex()].vmSize]]"
          ^^ tshirt variable ^ ^^ input parameter ^^ iteration ^^ property
          ^ get property defined dynamically, have to use syntax instead of dot notation
          for statichardcoded property name you can use dot notation:
          variables('vmSizeType').small


          if you need tshirt variable to be array (no reason), you'd have to account for that as well
