Deploy infrastructure with custom image
Hi,
currently im trying to deploy an IT-infrastructure but it is not working as I want.
I want to deploy 4 VMs based on the same custom image. (No Scale Set yet)
When I deploy 1 single VM based on that image, it works, but not when I deploy 4.
I may need some help here.
Here is the template for the 4 VM deployment incl rest of the infrastructure.
Everything is working but when the VMs are being deployed I read in the terminal "Failed" :(

What am I missing? Why is the deployment of 4 VMs not working?
Thanks in advance

I my self have not attempted to deploy multiple servers using a custom image, let alone as managed disk. I am in the process of trying to recreate this in my lab, hopefully i will have some results monday.
Until then maybe someone with more experience may come along.
Perhaps you could send me the the entire template files in a private message.
Also have you considered using a loop for the deployment of the vm's ?
Loop sounds interesting. Because all the vms, except the size, will be kind of the same.
Thanks for having a look!
I try to send you the whole template in a private message.
Also try and use Resource ID instread of concat for you dependson.
Concat just combines the input to a single string.
ResourceID insures the subscription and resource group is added:
so this:
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/', parameters('networkInterfaceName1'))]"
would actualy be this:
/subscriptions/****************/resourceGroups/RG3/Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/<parameters('networkInterfaceName1')>
