1: Review an ARM template for deployment of an Azure managed disk

we will create an Azure disk resource by using an Azure Resource Manager template.

1. Sign in to the https://portal.azure.com.

2. In the Azure portal, search for and select Resource groups.

6. On the Microsoft.ManagedDisk-XXXXXXXXX | Overview blade, click Template.

   Review the content of the template and note that you have the option to Download it to the local computer, Add to library, or Deploy it again.

7. Click Download and save the compressed file containing the template and parameters files to the Downloads folder on your lab computer.

8. On the Microsoft.ManagedDisk-XXXXXXXXX | Template blade, click Inputs.

9. Note the value of the location parameter. You will need it in the next task.

10. Extract the content of the downloaded file into the Downloads folder on your lab computer.

2: Create an Azure managed disk by using an ARM template

3. On the Custom deployment blade, click Build your own template in the editor.

4. On the Edit template blade, click Load file and upload the template.json file you downloaded in the previous task.

5. Within the editor pane, remove the following lines:

   json
   "sourceResourceId": {
      "type": "String"
   },
   "sourceUri": {
      "type": "String"
   },
   "sourceImageVersionId": {
      "type": "String"
   },
   "osType": {
      "type": "String"
   },

   json
   "hyperVGeneration": {

      "type": "String"
   },      

   json
   "osType": "[parameters('osType')]",
