ARM, Azure Resource Explorer and troubleshooting deployments

  • Artigo

If you've ever hit an issue when deploying an ARM template into Azure there are some good resources out there to help you find the root cause.  There is a detailed troubleshooting guide here which covers the various options available to you.  However, you can also use the awesome Azure Resource Explorer: https://resources.azure.com which have added support for ARM deployment operations.

Here you can see an ARM deployment failure:

If we drill down into the operation on the storage resource provider we can see the actual issue:

ARM issue 2

So now, I can fix up my storage name and redeploy - nice little touch added here by Stuart Leeks which clearly shows the current status of the deployment operation:
