I think second option should be "output of the continuous integration build" First, "Linked artifact" is not a variable. Is one of the options of the Template Location parameter Second, the linked template is located in $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/variables#system System.DefaultWorkingDirectory "The directory to which artifacts are downloaded during deployment of a release. The directory is cleared before every deployment if it requires artifacts to be downloaded to the agent. Same as Agent.ReleaseDirectory and System.ArtifactsDirectory." The artifact is created by the build pipeline (CI) https://www.andy-barnes.co.uk/create-an-azure-devops-release-pipeline-for-arm-template-deployment/ Also, the Template parameter should include the file name of the template (or a pattern), not just a folder. I think that part is wrong in the screenshot. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/azure-resource-group-deployment-v2 (read csmFile parameter)

The deployment mode is Complete. It needs to be changed to Incremental. In incremental mode, Resource Manager leaves unchanged resources that exist in the resource group but aren't specified in the template. Resources in the template are added to the resource group. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deployment-modes

Linked Artifact does not seem right to me, should be from the CI build.

1. Deployment mode 2. location specified in the linked artifact variable https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deployment-modes When deploying your resources, you specify that the deployment is either an incremental update or a complete update. The difference between these two modes is how Resource Manager handles existing resources in the resource group that aren't in the template. In incremental mode, Resource Manager leaves unchanged resources that exist in the resource group but aren't specified in the template. Resources in the template are added to the resource group.
