Multiple Vms Arm template with different Vm names,sizes and same custom-CodePudding

I have seen many templates to create multi vms as loop using copy function. Ex: vm1, vm2 etc. But this is not how we put in practice as each vm has different function and the naming convention doesn't help. I am trying to create a template with different vM names, sizes and a single custom Image. Can anyone please help?

CodePudding user response：

By using parameters, we can differentiate the VM names, sizes etc:

"parameters": {
    "org": {
    "type": "array",
    "defaultValue": [
        "contoso",
        "fabrikam",
        "coho"
        ]
    }
},

As Copy functions can get the correct value from parameter array and can set the count with length() automatically.

Refer to MS Docs to understand more.
