How to deploy ARM template using url with params

Question

I need to deploy a AKS using ARM template with a url. I guess it is possible using a url prefixed with https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/ followed by the location to the template url encoded.

Is it possible to pass parameters in the url to override the template parameters?

@Thiyagu Rajendran , thank you for your question.

You can follow the steps to Deploy with the REST API

You can define a parameters file and provide the link in the Request Body like:

{  
 "properties": {  
   "templateLink": {  
     "uri": "<template-link>",  
     "contentVersion": "<content-version>"  
   },  
   "parametersLink": {  
     "uri": "<parameter-file-link>",  
     "contentVersion": "<content-version>"  
   },  
   ...  
 }  
}  

or

pass parameters directly in the Request Body like:

{  
 "properties": {  
   "templateLink": {  
     "uri": "<template-link>",  
     "contentVersion": "<content-version>"  
   },  
   "parameters": {  
     ...  
   },  
   ...  
 }  
}

Parameter precedence

You can use inline parameters and a local parameter file in the same deployment operation. For example, you can specify some values in the local parameter file and add other values inline during deployment. If you provide values for a parameter in both the local parameter file and inline, the inline value takes precedence.

It's possible to use an external parameter file, by providing the URI to the file. When you use an external parameter file, you can't pass other values either inline or from a local file. All inline parameters are ignored. Provide all parameter values in the external file.
