Let me preface this with the fact that I am new to ARM templates. I am trying to create a template that will created a bunch of CosmosDB accounts, databases, and containers based on a config file that is fed in to the powershell script used for running in the template.
EG of config file:
{
"accounts": [
{
"accountName": "testproduct",
"burstCapacity": "true",
"databases": [
{
"dbName": "dev",
"containers": [
{
"containerName": "container1"
},
{
"containerName": "container2"
}
]
}
]
},
{
"accountName": "uatproduct",
"databases": [
{
"dbName": "dev",
"containers": [
{
"containerName": "container3"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
Is there any way of iterating through this in ARM? I can only consider it possible with a nested loop which obviously isn't supported. My logic is: Iterate through all containers of all databases of all accounts.
I have managed to resolve by creating a template for the account and a second one for the databases/containers, with a nested loop in the PowerShell script - but want to know if there's a way of bringing it all in line in one template?
Would greatly appreciate any tips.
