Private Endpoint for a Storage Queue in ARM - azure

Question

I can create a Private Endpoint for a Storage Queue through the portal just fine and it works as intended when checking with nameresolver.exe from KUDU. However, I am struggling to find an ARM template that does this in one go.
I have made this template work but I can see that the A record entry does not get generated in the Private DNS Zone that is generated. I don't know how to create that A record entry and cannot seem to find a ARM template online that describes this:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"privateEndpointName": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "privendpoint-sapriv01-queue"
},
"vnetName": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "vn-myvnet01"
},
"subnetName": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "sn-private-endpoints"
},
"groupId": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "queue"
}
},
"variables": {
"privateDNSZone_name": "[concat('privatelink', '.queue.', environment().suffixes.storage)]"
},
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2019-04-01",
"name": "[parameters('privateEndpointName')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints",
"location": "[resourceGroup().Location]",
"properties": {
"privateLinkServiceConnections": [
{
"name": "[parameters('privateEndpointName')]",
"properties": {
"privateLinkServiceId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', 'saprivendpointdemo')]",
"groupIds": [
"[parameters('groupId')]"
]
}
}
],
"manualPrivateLinkServiceConnections": [],
"subnet": {
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets', parameters('vnetName'), parameters('subnetName') )]"
}
}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones",
"apiVersion": "2018-09-01",
"name": "[variables('privateDNSZone_name')]",
"location": "global",
"tags": {},
"properties": {}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones/virtualNetworkLinks",
"apiVersion": "2018-09-01",
"name": "[concat(variables('privateDNSZone_name'), '/', parameters('vnetName'), 'link' )]",
"location": "global",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones', variables('privateDNSZone_name'))]"
],
"properties": {
"virtualNetwork": {
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', parameters('vnetName'))]"
},
"registrationEnabled": false
}
}
],
"outputs": {
}
}
I think Microsoft overcomplicated this. The Private IP is auto generated and I don't know how one would reference this IP in the ARM template.

If you want to add A record in your Azure Private DNS Zone, you can define Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints/privateDnsZoneGroups in your template.
For example
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"privateEndpointName": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "testqueue"
},
"vnetName": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "teststorage"
},
"subnetName": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "default"
},
"groupId": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "queue"
}
},
"variables": {
"privateDNSZone_name": "[concat('privatelink', '.queue.', environment().suffixes.storage)]"
},
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2019-04-01",
"name": "[parameters('privateEndpointName')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints",
"location": "[resourceGroup().Location]",
"properties": {
"privateLinkServiceConnections": [
{
"name": "[parameters('privateEndpointName')]",
"properties": {
"privateLinkServiceId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', 'teststorage05')]",
"groupIds": [
"[parameters('groupId')]"
]
}
}
],
"manualPrivateLinkServiceConnections": [],
"subnet": {
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets', parameters('vnetName'), parameters('subnetName') )]"
}
}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones",
"apiVersion": "2018-09-01",
"name": "[variables('privateDNSZone_name')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[parameters('privateEndpointName')]"
],
"location": "global",
"tags": {},
"properties": {}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones/virtualNetworkLinks",
"apiVersion": "2018-09-01",
"name": "[concat(variables('privateDNSZone_name'), '/', parameters('vnetName'), 'link' )]",
"location": "global",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones', variables('privateDNSZone_name'))]"
],
"properties": {
"virtualNetwork": {
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', parameters('vnetName'))]"
},
"registrationEnabled": false
}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints/privateDnsZoneGroups",
"apiVersion": "2020-03-01",
"name": "[concat(parameters('privateEndpointName'), '/', 'default')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[parameters('privateEndpointName')]",
"[variables('privateDNSZone_name')]"
],
"location": "[resourceGroup().Location]",
"properties": {
"privateDnsZoneConfigs": [
{
"name": "privatelink-queue-core-windows-net",
"properties": {
"privateDnsZoneId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones',variables('privateDNSZone_name'))]"
}
}
]
}
}
],
"outputs": {
}
}
