This tutorial will help you learn about Setting resource location in ARM template and describes how to deploy and test an Azure virtual machine (VM) from the generalized VHD image created in the previous section (Create Azure VM technical asset) to ensure the VHD image meets Azure Marketplace publishing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When deploying an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template, you must provide a location for each resource. The location doesn’t need to be the same location as the resource group location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get available locations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Different resource types are supported in different locations. To get the supported locations for a resource type, use Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use location parameter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To allow for flexibility when deploying your template, use a parameter to specify the location for resources. Set the default value of the parameter to resourceGroup().location<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test VM<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Complete these steps to generate a compatibility report, which certifies your VHD image can be used on Azure Marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Firstly, Create and deploy certificate required for remote VM management to Azure Key Vault.<\/li>
  2. Subsequently, Deploy an Azure VM from your generalized VHD image created in Create Azure VM technical asset.<\/li>
  3. Furthermore, Run tests on the deployed VM to ensure the VHD image is ready to be published and used to deploy VMs.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Running scripts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This contains three scripts to be run in PowerShell. The desktop PowerShell works best, however, the Azure Cloud Shell can also be used with the PowerShell option selected (top left of window).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Firstly, Ensure PowerShell is configured to run scripts.
