Repeatable deploymentsedit

For repeatable deployments, it is recommended to target a specific template release within the GitHub repository; Each release is identified by tagging the commit and the release notes indicate the changes in the release.

Targeting a specific release ensures that the template parameters remain the same, in addition to which resources are deployed and how they are configured. Furthermore, a release undergoes considerable testing before being considered ready for public release.

As an example, to target 7.11.1 release of the template

Azure CLI 2.0.

template_base_uri=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/azure-marketplace
template_version=7.11.1

az group deployment create \
  --resource-group "<name>" \
  --template-uri $template_base_uri/$template_version/src/mainTemplate.json \
  --parameters _artifactsLocation=$template_base_uri/$template_version/src/ \
               esVersion=7.11.1 esClusterName=elasticsearch \
               vmDataDiskCount=1 dataNodesAreMasterEligible=Yes \
               adminUsername=russ adminPassword=Password1234 \
               securityBootstrapPassword=bootstrapPassword123 \
               securityAdminPassword=adminPassword123 \
               securityKibanaPassword=kibanaPassword123 \
               securityLogstashPassword=logstashPassword123 \
