New-AzResourceGroupDeployment not working

Question

I am trying to run the following command in cloud powershell:

$location = 'UK West'
$rgName = 'az104-07-rg0'
New-AzResourceGroup -Name $rgName -Location $location

Above succeeds

Followed by:

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName az104-07-rg0
-TemplateFile az104-07-vm-template.json -TemplateParameterFile az104-07-vm-parameters.json
-AsJob

Which does nothing except give me the following output on screen. I have uploaded the Template and parameters file. Any ideas why this is happening:

PS /home/sundeep> New-AzResourceGroupDeployment `

> -ResourceGroupName $rgName > -TemplateFile $HOME/az104-07-vm-template.json
> -TemplateParameterFile $HOME/az104-07-vm-parameters.json `
> -AsJob

Id Name PSJobTypeName State HasMoreData Location Command

Hello @Sundeep Kumar ,

Welcome to the MS Q&A.
I have suspicious how exactly you pass the TemplateFile parameter to specify the template and the TemplateParameterFile parameter to specify a file that contains parameters and parameter values.

I searched for the lab with the same name and noticed what author first uploads file and next providing the path where these files store:

Please try to complete the same lab again by following the exact steps in the lab scenario.

Hi Olga - thanks for the quick reply.

I am running the lab exactly as it shows. I upload the correct Template and Parametre file to the home directory. After running the resource group deployment I get this output in shell:

I think the reason why the New-AzResourceGroupDeployment command and ARM templates/scripts doing nothing because of the StatusCode: 404 issue. To see the issue when executing this command, you can remove/exclude the last paramter "-AsJob" from the line. As you can see in following screenshot, I did upload both template & template parameter files to the Cloud Shell (verified by using dir command) and still have issue. I am not sure what causes this issue so I have to upload the files (template & parameter) to my Storage Account and using TemplateUri (with SAS token) instead of TemplateFile in this approach.
