ARM Template : Get the SKU of IOT hub - azure

Question

Using the "reference" keyword I am able to access my iot hub and list its properties. However I cannot find any reference to the SKU. How can I list the sku name/tier of an iot hub to output?

Answer 1

If you want to get the iot hub's sku inarm template, you can use the arm template function "reference" :
[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Devices/IotHubs', 'hubname'),'2018-04-01','Full')]
for example
template
