Appropriate Structs to Represent an ARM Template

[boumenot]

There is no type that represents an ARM template in the SDK. I can approximate an ARM template type with a little bit of effort, and using the models (read types) that ship with the SDK.

This may be an issue that for Swagger...

I am approximating an ARM template using the following code.

package template

import (
    "github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/arm/compute"
    "github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/arm/network"
    //"github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/arm/resources/resources"
)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Template
type Template struct {
    Schema         *string                `json:"$schema"`
    ContentVersion *string                `json:"contentVersion"`
    Parameters     *map[string]Parameters `json:"parameters"`
    Variables      *map[string]string     `json:"variables"`
    Resources      *[]Resource            `json:"resources"`
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Template > Parameters
type Parameters struct {
    Type         *string `json:"type"`
    DefaultValue *string `json:"defaultValue,omitempty"`
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Template > Resource
type Resource struct {
    ApiVersion *string     `json:"apiVersion"`
    Name       *string     `json:"name"`
    Type       *string     `json:"type"`
    Location   *string     `json:"location"`
    DependsOn  *[]string   `json:"dependsOn,omitempty"`
    Properties *Properties `json:"properties,omitempty"`
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Template > Resource > Properties
type Properties struct {
    AddressSpace            *network.AddressSpace               `json:"addressSpace,omitempty"`
    DiagnosticsProfile      *compute.DiagnosticsProfile         `json:"diagnosticsProfile,omitempty"`
    DNSSettings             *network.PublicIPAddressDNSSettings `json:"dnsSettings,omitempty"`
    HardwareProfile         *compute.HardwareProfile            `json:"hardwareProfile,omitempty"`
    IPConfigurations        *[]network.IPConfiguration          `json:"ipConfigurations,omitempty"`
    NetworkProfile          *compute.NetworkProfile             `json:"networkProfile,omitempty"`
    OsProfile               *compute.OSProfile                  `json:"osProfile,omitempty"`
    PublicIPAllocatedMethod *network.IPAllocationMethod         `json:"publicIPAllocationMethod,omitempty"`
    StorageProfile          *compute.StorageProfile             `json:"storageProfile,omitempty"`
    Subnets                 *[]network.Subnet                   `json:"subnets,omitempty"`
}

@boumenot Yup, Swagger issue. :)

@boumenot closing this as this does not seem very much related to the Go SDK. It might make sense to start an internal discussion with ARM folks (lmk if u need contacts) to create Swagger spec(s) for the ARM templates.

in the meanwhile I suggest creating a personal repo to host these types or just embed them in the project you're using them.
