pass value from one step into the next step in ARM deployment

Question

I’m using ARM template deployment to create resources.

As part of the deployment (at a given step), I need to use a secret from an existing keyvault.

Is there a way to fetch that data at one step and pass it to the next step that needs that data?

Answer 1

You can use the Key Vault Secret in ARM Template by using something similar to below example:

"adminPassword": {
    "reference": {
        "keyVault": {
            "id": "/subscriptions/<SubscriptionID>/resourceGroups/<KeyVaultRG>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<KeyVaultName>"
        },
        "secretName": "vmAdminPassword"
    }
}
