Ok guys, I have been looking at this question for days. Going From A to B and then back to A etc. But we seem to be over complicating the question. Solution says: Create a main template that will deploy the resources in one resource group and a nested template that will deploy the resources in the other resource group. Where in the Solution are the resource groups created? Answer is a straight B.

Yes the answer to the series will only be Linked Template. In nested template the RG needs to be present already

Answer is no, as the proposed solution says to create 1 main template to deploy resources to one RG and a nested to deploy resources to the 2nd RG and it should be 1 main template to create the RGs and a nested template to deploy the resources, while setting the nested template to be dependent on the RGs see: create resource group and resources on this URL https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-subscription?tabs=azure-cli#create-resource-group-and-resources

I would go for B We can accomplish the above via both in linked and nested but My assumption is for Nested template is as below Main template should created RG(s) and nested templates should create resources with depends on respective RG(s)

To create the resource group and deploy resources to it, use a nested template. The nested template defines the resources to deploy to the resource group. Set the nested template as dependent on the resource group to make sure the resource group exists before deploying the resources. -So as explained above, you can't deploy resource to the resource group at the mainTamplet if main used to create the RG ,you will use mainTemplet to create the RG, and a nested tablet to deploy to the RG,but the Question said use main to deploy to first RG,that cant be correct because RG will be created at mainTemplet. if the question said use main-Templet to create RG's and 2 nested templet(why 2, because nested templet can be scoped to 1 RG only) to deploy to each RG the answer will be correct. So answer is B "No" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-subscription?tabs=azure-cli#create-resource-group-and-resources

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.

Selected Answer: A

correct answer is Yes. You could also create all the resources in the apposite Resource Groups using a template and a nested template. Is this the best thing to it? IMHO no, but it works. And you can do it even using just one template. In an ARM template you can establish the order of resource deployment by dependencies. So you can easily establish to create first the resource group and then the resources you want to put in. You can establish that all the resources that would be contained in the resource group has a dependsOn the resource group resource. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/resource-dependency

Sorry but my previous answer is wrong. Since resource groups must be created via ARM template it is not possible to create related resources in the main. you must use a related template (linked or nested). So the correct answer is No. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-subscription?tabs=azure-cli#resource-groups https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/linked-templates?tabs=azure-powershell

I think its B. You can create resourcegroups from the main and then scope nested deployments to those resourcegroups for the deployment of resources. this forces you to scope the main deployment to subscription level. when you do that, you are limited to the types of resources you can deploy. ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-subscription?tabs=azure-cli) So you cannot use the main to deploy the first part of resources.

i think the key is "You need to recommend a solution" so my opinion is: -> Create a main template that has two linked templates, each of which will deploy the resources in its respective group. This should be the correct recommendation.

This question is part of a a series of questions. You can find 4 questions in this dump. 1. two standalone templates. each will deploy the resources in its respective group. 2. a single standalone template that will deploy all the resources 3. a main template to deploy one resource group and a nested template to deploy another resource group. 4. a main template with two linked templates, each of which will deploy a resource group. two standalone templates should work one main template with one nested or linked template should work one main template with two nested or linked template should work https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-resource-group?tabs=azure-powershell

back to the question again. Since it asks for "recommendation", the best answer is linked template.
