After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You plan to create a release pipeline that will deploy Azure resources by using Azure Resource Manager templates. The release pipeline will create the following resources:
✑ Two resource groups
✑ Four Azure virtual machines in one resource group
✑ Two Azure SQL databases in other resource group
You need to recommend a solution to deploy the resources.
Solution: Create two standalone templates, each of which will deploy the resources in its respective group.
Does this meet the goal?

A is correct - you can deploy several ARM templates in one deployment - just add different tasks or multiple ARM deployment steps in the task

if the templates are standalone, you'll need a template of scope "subscription" to create the two RG's, then you need individual (2x) standalone templates scoped to the two RGs. That makes the standalone template 3x. You can't technically implement this with only 2x stand alone templates due to scoping issues (assuming non of the templates are nested, nor linked)

A - Yes - you can deploy multiple templates in one deployment.

Actually, I am not so sure about it. You need a master ARM template to control the other 2, and the question specifies nothing about that.

I think that we all agree that this is not best practice. The question asks what you would “recommend” as a solution, I do not think we should recommend this solution for the reason that this is not the best practice. Hence the answer has to be No – we do not recommend.

Answer is A - Yes. You are not being asked here what is best practice, you are asked if it is possible, which it is.

You need to recommend a solution. Question: Does this meet the goal? The goal is that you would be recommending best practices.

I think answer is B For small to medium solutions, a single template is easier to understand and maintain. You can see all the resources and values in a single file. For advanced scenarios, linked templates enable you to break down the solution into targeted components. You can easily reuse these templates for other scenarios. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/linked-templates?tabs=azure-powershell

Answer is No To deploy your solution, you can use either a single template or a main template with many related templates. The related template can be either a separate file that is linked to from the main template or a template that is nested within the main template.

Try creating it, you will find that you can't create it without linked templates.

exactly, it's technically impossible due to scoping, not sure why all are marking A... you either need 3x stand alone templates, or less templates but linked or nested !!

To be more precise, the solution works by using two standalone Nested Templates. In fact you can create the resource group in the main template and it is essential to use a related template (nested/linked) to create the resources contained in the resource group specifying a dependsOn. It is also essential that the main has a scope at the subscription level. It must indicate the following schema: "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2018-05-01/subscriptionDeploymentTemplate.json#" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-subscription?tabs=azure-cli#resource-groups

Sorry, on second thought I'm afraid my previous answer might be wrong. My doubt is that my solution is not in tune with the requirement in the question because probably standalone template means a single template with no other linked or nested ones. And if so, the correct answer to the question is No. As mentioned above you need both ARM templates to be nested or linked.
