Schema for ARM deployment to update to 2019

Question

Is there any dependency when you upgrade Schema version from 2015-01-01 to 2019-04-01 ?
Will it work by just replacing the version and re-deploy ? I tried to deploy and no error seen but I cannot verify or see schema version over portal , so I'm not sure on this.

Also curious to know if 2019 is now supported without ARM extension in VS code ?

"https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/syntax" this link suggests to upgrade to latest version for resource group deployments but can get issue if not using ARM extension.

Answer 1

When you update the root level version, it will pull in automatically the appropriate versions of the child schemas.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-resource-manager-schemas/blob/master/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json

This will eliminate the necessity/dependency of the updating the code.

You will need the Azure Resource Manager tools extension. There is a walkthrough that is documented here. Not sure, whether I understood the second part of your question. Request you to add additional context if this is not the information you are looking for
