Azure website resource template error

Question

I\'m attempting to use the AzureResourceManager PowerShell module to create and configure a website. I started with a template file generated by Visual Studio, which works

Answer 1

The 'incorrect segment lengths' error message is difficult to understand for non-English native so there's explanation in plain English/json: For example, you have a resource of type Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles resource and for some reason you need to define nested resource having type Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/ExternalEndpoints as a separate resource.

The nested resource must have name parent_resource_name/nested_res_name

The correct (simplified) schema is:

{
  "type": "Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles",
  "name": "[variables('trafManagerProfileName')]",
   ...
},
{
  "type": "Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/ExternalEndpoints",
  "name": "[concat(variables('trafManagerProfileName'), '/Endpoint', copyIndex())]",
  "dependsOn": [
    "[concat('Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/', variables('trafManagerProfileName'))]",
    "[parameters('app_name')]" # where the endpoint should look at
  ],
   ...
}

p.s. you might be interested in this question as well if you need to generate nested resources dynamically based on count of third resource: How do I dynamically generate Traffic Manager endpoints in an ARM template?
