DevTest Labs does not contain the latest Preview API (2018-10-15-preview) spec

[ahmadabdalla]

Looking at the content for DevTest Lab. It is missing the latest Preview API 2018-10-15-preview that includes a lot more features than the latest 2018-09-15 version. Example properties:

• Support for system assigned managed identities.
• Use existing storage account for the Lab Artifacts instead of the default.
• Encryption using Customer managed keys using the Disk Encryption set.
• Browser Connect via Azure Bastion.
• Specifying a custom resource group for VM Creation.
• Isolation of lab resources. This changes the Storage accounts and key vaults to 'Selected networks only'
• Disabling auto upgrade of custom script extension.

This causes the following warning when developing Bicep module for DTL:

Warning BCP081: Resource type "Microsoft.DevTestLab/labs@2018-10-15-preview" does not have types available.

However, the latest API 2018-10-15-preview is used when managing DTL from the Azure Portal and is referenced in the Resource Provider blade

Also, in Resource Explorer

And when querying the RP via PowerShell:

In addition: Both Template Documentation and the API Documentation are missing the latest API 2018-10-15-preview and parameter usage guidance.

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @tanmayeekamath.

I am having the same "issue". @ahmadabdalla how were you able to find all the new features of the 2018-10-15-preview schema?

[ahmadabdalla]

@greha use resource explorer for your subscription resources of type DTL will show all the properties for that API version.

any updates with this?

@ahmadabdalla Were you able to retrieve the full details of the API features ?

The only way I've found to use the new features of the 2018-10-15-preview API is to use the Resource Explorer to reverse-engineer it.

For example, I had to proceed as below to configure my lab so that it deploys all VMs in the same RG:

• Configure the lab from the Azure Portal as “Default Resource Group Allocation”.
• Retrieve the lab configuration via Resource Explorer
• Configure the lab from the Azure Portal as “All Virtual machines in one resource group”.
• Retrieve lab configuration via Resource Explorer
• Identify the differences between the 2 configuration files, and adapt my code accordingly.

This lead to the following code, which does work for me

resource "azapi_resource" "lab" {
  type = "Microsoft.DevTestLab/labs@2018-10-15-preview"
  schema_validation_enabled = false //needed to be allowed to use 2018-10-15-preview
[snip]  
  body = {
    properties = {
     [snip] 
      vmCreationResourceGroupId = "/subscriptions/REDACTED/resourceGroups/${azurerm_resource_group.rg.name}" //my resource group name
    }
  } 
}
