Parameters

general parameters

param subscriptionID = '<your subscription id>' // Subscription where Dev Center will be deployed
param DevCenterName = '<Dev Center Name>'
param resourceGroupName = '<Resource group name>' // Resource group name used to deply Dev Center, Definitions, Projects, Pools and Network Connections

Networks parameter block

This is an array of Networks (Subnets) to be linked (attached) to Dev Center

param networks = [ // include each VNET Subnet ID where you want to deploy Dev Boxes.
  {
    name: '<Network Connection name used by Dev Center>'
    location: 'WestEurope'
    subnetID: '/subscriptions/<your subscription id>/resourceGroups/<your resource group name>/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/<your VNET name>/subnets/<Subnet name>'
  }
]

• note1: each Network Connection will be deployed in a separate resource group within the same subscription and location of the VNET.
• note2: a new resource group will be created and named as defined in parameter: resourceGroupName.
