Azure ARM templates - using the output of other deployments

Question

What I am interested in is reading the output parameters of another deployment in a different resource group. My ARM templates are something like:

1. platform.jso

Answer 1

How are you doing your deployments? In PowerShell you can do something like:

(Get-AzureResourceGroupDeployment NameOfResourceGroup).Outputs.NameOfOuputProperty.Value

And that will give you the output of the most recent deployment. You can also throw the entire deployment object into a var and have at it that way.

$d = Get-AzureResourceGroupDeployment NameOfResourceGroup

Which would be faster if you needed a many output properties.

That help?

Update for AzureRM cmdlet

The syntax is largely the same:

(Get-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName NameOfResourceGroup -Name NameOfDeployment).Outputs.NameOfOutputProperty.value

If you have multiple deployments you can use:

Get-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName NameOfResourceGroup 

To see them all and see what the names are...
