Deployment Stack

Some test on the lifecycle

Init - one RG, two STO

$stack=az stack sub create --name "yaystack" `
  --template-file yaystack01.bicep --location westeurope `
  --deny-settings-mode "DenyDelete" `
  --delete-all false `
  --delete-resource-groups false `
  --delete-resources false


($stack | ConvertFrom-Json).outputs.alphaName.value

The "Deployment Stack" define the deployment name with the following naming convention: take({stack-name}-{timestamp}-{uniqueid}, 64)

Add a third storage account, change a property of an existing STO

RESULT : new resource added to the stack, no unmanaged resources


az stack sub create --name "yaystack" `
  --template-file yaystack02.bicep --location westeurope `
  --deny-settings-mode "DenyDelete" `
  --delete-all false `
  --delete-resource-groups false `
  --delete-resources false

Remove one storage

RESULT : stogamma moved to the unmanaged resources list but not deleted from Azure


az stack sub create --name "yaystack" `
  --template-file yaystack03.bicep --location westeurope `
  --deny-settings-mode "DenyDelete" `
  --delete-all false `
  --delete-resource-groups false `
  --delete-resources false

Remove another storage and change the DELETE resource to TRUE

RESULT :

stobeta has been deleted from the stack and from Azure.
no action has been taken on stogamma that was in the unmanaged. stogamma IS NOT deleted.
the detached list is empty (I would prefer to still see the stogamma in the list).


az stack sub create --name "yaystack" `
  --template-file yaystack04.bicep --location westeurope `
  --deny-settings-mode "DenyDelete" `
  --delete-all false `
  --delete-resource-groups false `
  --delete-resources true
