Azure Update Management - ARM service configuration

Question

I am going to use ARM templates to configure Update Management service in Azure. I dont want to deploy Update Management from the scratch, I would like to create Update Deployment and schedule a patching using ARM. I created teml file and param file, please see below. I am using script to deploy json file, presented below as well. I am facing an error like: New-AzureRmDeployment : 11:14:04 AM - Error: Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation failed: 'The resource 'Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/UpdateTesting' is not defined in the template. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template for usage details.'.

I used following link to create json template file: softwareUpdateConfigurations, and used below presented ps1 script to run template and param file:

powershell script to run a template:

param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string] $ResourceGroupName,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string] $TemplateFilePath,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string] $TemplateParameterFilePath
)

if((Test-Path $TemplateFilePath) -and (Test-Path $TemplateParameterFilePath)) {
    New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TemplateFile $TemplateFilePath -TemplateParameterFile $TemplateParameterFilePath
} else {
    Write-Error "One of required files was not found."
}

Parameters file:

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "automationAccounts_name": {
        "value": "xxx"
        },
        "location": {
        "value": "xxx"
        },
        "scheduleName1": {
        "value": "xxx"
        }
    }
}
