Azure ARM Template Deployment in existing Availability Set - azure

Question

From the template below how do I add it to an existing Availability Set(Same resource group). I can't do this after VM creation so I need to do it here.
Getting error as
The Availability Set
'/subscriptions/XXXXXXXXXXX/resourceGroups/XXXXXXXXXXXX/providers/Microsoft.Com
pute/availabilitySets/XXXXXXX' cannot be found.
However it is available on portal. I can deploy VM manually.

if you want to add vm to existing availabilty set - you have to give it its resourceId, that is. add the following parameter to vm properties:
"availabilitySet": {
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/availabilitySets', 'existing_availability_set_name')]"
},
