Can you help me on this..

@vigneshkrcegmailcom I was wondering, what errors are you getting when you try to provision the resource?

 

I took your template and pasted it into my Visual Studio Code. The type that you provided: "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups isn't recognized. I reviewed the documentation on docs.microsoft.com and see: 

  • microsoft.resources/subscriptions/resourcegroups

You might try to change that.

 

Otherwise please update what errors you are receiving, please.
