Question

Your team deploys a multi-tier Azure environment using a main ARM template that references three linked templates (network, compute, and data). During an Azure Pipelines deployment, the main template deploys successfully, but the resource group deployment fails with an error indicating the linked templates cannot be found. The linked templates are stored in an Azure Storage account container that is not publicly accessible. Which action correctly enables the deployment to resolve the linked templates?

Accepted Answer

Generate a SAS token for the storage container, append it as a query string to each linked template URI, and pass the base URI plus the token as template parameters.

Answer

Generate a SAS token for the storage container and pass it as the value for the templateSpecVersion parameter in the pipeline task.

Answer

Upload the linked templates as pipeline artifacts and reference them using the $(Pipeline.Workspace) path in the linked template URIs.

Answer

Set the storage container access level to Blob (anonymous read) so the ARM deployment engine can retrieve the templates during deployment.
