Azure ARM template how to get correct syntax from utcnow function to runbook start time

Question

It should look like this:

"startTime": "2019-03-29T23:30:00+01:00"

With default I get

20190430T151332Z

But I cannot figure out how to get the desired syntax. Is that possible with ARM template utcnow function and if yes, how?

Answer 1

you'd need to use standard dotnet custom formatting. As described here.

"[utcnow('yyyy-MM-dd THH:mm:ss zzzz')]"

this seems to be fine, except it returns not your TZ, but ARM TZ, so it always returns +00:00. so it makes no sense to use it.
