Hello Jo Kimmich,

Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A Forum. I understand you want to use an ARM template in an Azure DevOps Pipeline to create a Resource Group and Storage Account, but you’re not sure which Azure service you need to subscribe to or how to start.

To clarify, you only need one thing: an active Azure subscription where your ARM template can deploy resources. ARM deployments are built-in to every Azure subscription, so there is no additional service you need to buy. If you don’t have a subscription yet, you can create one directly from the Azure Free Account page here: Azure Free Account

Once you have a subscription, the next step is setting up Azure DevOps so you can run your pipeline. You can sign in or create an organization from the Azure DevOps portal here: Azure Portal Page

Inside your Azure DevOps project, you will need to create a Service Connection that allows the pipeline to authenticate and deploy ARM templates into your subscription. You can follow the official steps here: Create a Service Connection

After the Service Connection is created, you can deploy your ARM template using a simple YAML pipeline. Azure DevOps provides an ARM deployment task that you can reference in your template. The full tutorial for deploying ARM templates using pipelines is documented here: Tutorial: Continuous integration of ARM templates with Azure Pipelines

For designing or validating your ARM templates, you can also refer to the ARM template authoring overview here: Documentation

If you need more specific guidance or steps, please provide us with requested information

1. Do you already have an active Azure subscription visible in the Azure Portal?
2. Have you used Azure DevOps before?
3. Have you already created an Azure DevOps project and a Service Connection?
4. What specific resources are you looking to create in the ARM template beyond the storage account and resource group?

Hope this helps you get started. Let me know if you have any more questions or need further assistance. Thank you!
