Deploying SQL Server & SQL Databases

The ARM template sqldeploy.json and its parameter file (sqldeploy.parameters.json) are used to deploy following resources:

One SQL Server
Three SQL databases (for ordering, catalog and identity) services.
Firewall rules to allow access from any IP to SQL Server. This allows easy management, but is not desired in production environments.

Editing sqldeploy.parameters.json file

You have to edit the sqldeploy.parameters.json file to set your values. There are two parameters:

sql_server is a object parameter that contains the sql server name, the admin login and password, and the database names.
suffix is a suffix that will be added to thee sql_server name to ensure uniqueness.

Once parameter file is edited you can deploy it using create-resources script.

i. e. if you are in windows, to deploy sql databases in a new resourcegroup located in westus, go to deploy\az folder and type:

create-resources.cmd sql\sqldeploy newResourceGroup -c westus
