Creating VMs with ARM Template fails

[tomddlc]

Hi Freddy,

I have tried several combinations of parameters with ARM templates using artifacts, but all of them have started to fail. They all worked previously - but since yesterday, I get an error. Any idea if it is me doing something wrong?

I have created a template link using the wizard. I use the artifact bcartifacts/sandbox//dk/latest

The VM itself is created, but the install process fails.

Here is a dump of the log:

Apparently Microsoft Download removed one of the files we have a dependency on. I have updated the ContainerHelper to download that file from my own CDN - so it should work again.

Thank you very much for your fast response. It seems to work perfectly now 👍

It was really another case of this: https://freddysblog.com/2020/08/18/one-of-these-days/
