i have a requirement to create an ADF pipeline using ARM template in powershell and it has to take inputs/validate few things from existing ADF piepline, for that reason i have to download the ARM tempalte for existing ADF pipeline through powershell. Can we do that for single ADF pipeline or multiple ones?
Note: existing pipeline is not created through ARM deployment, so i cant use "Save-AzureRmDeploymentTemplate" as i dont have deployment name created when pipeline is created through portal..
Any help is really appreciated.
Maybe you want to take a look at Export-AzureRmResourceGroup.
But I guess you can only export the entire resource group which may contain other things. You need put your data factory in a special resource group if you only want to export ADF.
Another way is to export arm template in ADF UI.

I need to create Azure resources. ALL Region/ Location like eastus, westus etc.. should be displayed as Parameter in Pipeline so user can Select any one location for creating the Azure resource using Azure Devops Pipeline. Any suggestions please
Are you using yaml to define your pipeline? If so this is possible using runtime parameters. You essentially define a list of values that can be selected on pipeline running, and if a user doesn't it chooses a default value.

I have created an ARM template for deploying resources into an Azure Resource Group. Is there any way I could use the same ARM template to perform automated "Baseline-Checks" in order to check if the resources have been changed in any way?
Are you just trying to determine if the state of the resources in Azure have "drifted" from the state declared in the template? If so you can use the what-if api and parse the results from that to see if something has changed.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-what-if?tabs=azure-powershell
If you want to prevent drift from occurring, you can lock the resources to prevent changes.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/lock-resources?tabs=json
You can perform baseline checks by using ARM template but you need to
create individual template for each resource group in incremental
mode and when there is any changes in the resource it will
automatically updated in the template and by that way you can perform
baseline checks
Here is the documentation which helps in creating
ARM template.
Exported Azure ARM template contains a lot's of useless information, let's say snapshots. I would like export actual resource definitions only.
Is it possible to filter unnecessary items out? I would like to convert this template to Bicep (to deploy all the resources into an another subscription) and now I have to clear manually all the unused items from the exported ARM template.
Thank you Gopa. Posting your suggestion as an answer to help other community members.
Exporting an ARM template from the resource group or resource will give you a template that is a snapshot of the current properties so it includes all the properties which were changed after the initial deployment.
You can also try exporting templates from the deployment history too which will give you an option to export your initial version without the changes you made after each deployment.
You can maintain all resources in source control as ARM templates and use CI/CD to deploy, whenever there is a change, so you can have our latest version of ARM templates and use it to build up a new environment when a need comes.
You can export the template that was used to deploy existing resources. The template you get is exactly the one that was used for deployment.
Export template after deployment
Select the resource group you want to export.
Select the link under Deployments.
Select one of the deployments from the deployment history.
Select Template. The template used for this deployment is displayed, and is available for download.
I have an ARM template, which I will be using it to deploy resources (Mentioned as in Azure Portal) via Azure DevOps Pipeline. These ARM templates were created using my Dev Subscription. If I need to use this same ARM template to move to production, I need to manually update the subscription id etc in the ARM template and then run the respective pipelines. Is there any way to automate this manual updation process in ARM template.
I have tried using File Transform Agent job available under Azure DevOps Release pipeline. But since the values are available inside nested loops of ARM templates, it failed. Is there any PowerShell script that will be suitable for this process of updating values.
I don't want to manually update the ids under the ARM Template. Instead, I want to update it automatically.
Set Json Property task might help to set the property with specific value.
First in the marketplace search for "set Json property" task and install it for your organization.
Then you can set the property path and the value accordingly. check here for detail usage
Instead of hard coding in ARM templates you can use parameters file. For dev and prod you can have separate files and while deploying pass ARM Template along with parameter file whichever is required.
You can use AKV (Azure Key Vault) to access your subscription details in parameter file
subscription().subscriptionid will get you the details
I am trying to delete some components of data factory in ARM template json file. For an example if I have pipeline A,B,C and I would like to only deploy pipeline A into the data factory. Is there any way to accomplish this? I found only command that delete after deploy but I would prefer to delete it before deploying.
I also consider the option of deleting some of json key and value inside "resource" key in template file. Anyone ever tried this?
You could modify the ARM template json file.
