With Copy Elements you can deploy multiple instances of your resources or properties, all in a single Resource Manager template.
In this episode I give you introduction to instance multiplication using copy elements and show you practical examples of applying this practice for resources, properties, parameters, variables and outputs.
Source code for demos: github.com/MarczakIO/azure4ev...
In this episode live demo of
- Deploying multiple Storage Accounts
- Deploying multiple Storage Accounts using parameters
- Creating dependencies
- Deploying multiple child resources
- Creating array variables using copy element
- Creating array outputs using copy element
- Creating resource properties using copy element

Thank you Adam for the content. There are a lot of object-oriented programming concepts here. I don't know about others but those long strings are killing me. When I finish reading them I almost forget what were they doing in the first place.

Thank you so much for the Video Adam, its very helpful. Could you please also create a video on creating multiple VM using a ARM template and Loop.

@AdamMarczakYT 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately this scenario is not much different from copying multiple storage account. It is surely more complex because there are more components required for a VM but the technical knowledge required is the same. Since it doesn't require a new skill set I'm not sure if it constitutes a separate video. Thanks for the suggestion though. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this great resource. I have a question about Disaster recovery, what is the best method to replicate all the infrastructure (vnet, subnet, disks, vm, etc ) instead of jus replicating VMs? Thanks a lot

Hi Adam, Really appreciated your video, I have one doubt, how container names comes container1,container2..., we have added the concadination with "Storage",uniquestring, as well right ??

Thank you so much for this Adam, very helpful. I have a question: Instead of using functions to generate names, what if I have a static set of names I already have, like storage-germany, storage-india... storage-singapore .. many names in array? How do i specify these in an array or object?

Hi Adam, great examples. I am trying to get around creating load balancing rules on a MLB, using copy loops for that property (loadBalancingRules). I have a variable (numApplications) and for each application I must create 2 rules (http_access_appx and https_access_appx). With copy loops I am able to create one of the rules for all applications, but having trouble to create both rules, as I cannot use the copy loops multiple times inside the same resource... How would you recommend doing this? Thanks, and congrats for the great tutorials

@AdamMarczakYT 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks! If you always create only 2 rules then why use copy loops in the first place :) but if you really insist check my response on reddit on similar example www.reddit.com/r/AZURE/comments/fkxlbs/nested_arm_template_with_copy/

@GustavoMartinezgusmb 3 жыл бұрын

@@AdamMarczakYT thanks Adam! I think modulo function gives me an idea of how to solve it, awesome:) I have to use loops because the it depends on number of applications. If this number is 20, I am creating 40 loadBalancingRules in one go (20 for http and 20 for https). Cheers

What about nested copy? I need to deploy a Pipelines of Azure Data Factory. Each pipeline has its own array of "source endpoints", with different lengths. So not only I need to iterate over the pipelines, I need to iterate over each "source endpoint" it has. Anyway to do this?

Hi, Question: i create 2 VMs with a name using instance count and VMs 1 and 2 created,,, fine . but when I run the template again with same VM name it should start the VM name from 3,4 ... as I have already created VMs 1 and 2 in earlier run... please advise?

Create a subnet resource and use copy look to multiply it. It's a bit trickier because you need to generate address spaces properly github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/blob/master/101-vnet-two-subnets/azuredeploy.json

How would one get the storage queue endpoints? I have tried this: "storageQueueNames": { "type": "array", "copy": { "count": "[length(parameters('storageQueueNames'))]", "input": "[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', variables('storage_account_name'), '/default'), copyIndex('copyQueues')).primaryEndpoints.queue]" } }

What I meant to say, if I have used your example 04-storage-child-resources.json and created storage queues instead of blobContainers, then how would I ouput these queue endpoint in the outputs section?

Can you make videos on Azure CDN, please

I will definitely cover CDN. But there are so many more common/cool services on the list. Like synapse analytics, api management, log analytics and KQL, cognitive services, etc. But CDN will eventually get here.
