Azure resources created using custom provider not showing on azure portal

Question

I created an Azure custom provider by following the documentation in the link below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/custom-providers/

I am able to successfully create resources for the types defined in the custom provider using ARM templates. However, I do not see those resources on the azure portal under the specific resource group.

Is this behavior expected?

Answer 1

• I have deployed the custom provider in azure portal using ARM template by following below steps

• Open azure portal and search for custom deployment as below

• Taken reference from Microsoft Doc

• After opening custom deployment, i have used the below code and then click on save
