How to create standard type Logic Apps using ARM templates

Question

I can create consumption type logic apps with sample workflow using ARM templates. I want to create standard type logic apps with sample workflows using ARM templates.

But, I’m unable to find any reference documentations for the above one.

So, can anyone help me out on this one.

Just try to create a standard logic app in the portal. In the last step you will get an option to download the ARM template. HTH. — Gaurav Mantri, Jun 02 '21 at 12:08
@GauravMantri, I have already tried with that option. But it is not giving the workflows inside the logic app. — Pradeep, Jun 02 '21 at 14:12

Sorry, in my earlier answer I misunderstood what you were actually asking. Now I believe I got you. But unfortunately what you want to achieve is not possible. And that is by design:

Standard logic apps are fundamentally different to consumption logic apps.

The old logic apps (now called consumption or multi-tenant) make no distinction between the workflow that you execute within a logic app and the logic app as an azure resource. Your logic app really IS your workflow and it runs on an dedicated ISE that you can not configure. That is why you will find all that workflow information in the arm template.

The new logic apps (now called standard or single-tenant) are build upon the same system that function apps are. Now your logic app is an azure resource that provides the runtime for one or more workflows. It is analogous to a function app that can run one or more functions. There is therefore a clear separation between the logic resource that is described in the arm template and the "application code" (your workflow) that is run within this azure resource.

Like function apps you can only create the azure infrastructure resources with arm templates. Azure Resource Manager has no means to deploy application code.

Your workflow definition will be a separate json file to the arm template that defines your logic app infrastructure and the deployment of the workflow is a step that happens after the provisioning of the infrastructure.

See this project for an example of how this can be setup in a CI/CD pipeline: https://github.com/Azure/logicapps/tree/master/azure-devops-sample

Manuel, I have gone through the above documentation and then created single tenant logic app workflows using `visual studio code`. The created project structure contains the `connections.json` and `local.settings.json` files which contains the connections details of workflows. But I want to change these settings per environment in Azure DevOps release pipeline. So, can you please suggest me how to do it in Azure DevOps release pipeline? — Pradeep, Jul 15 '21 at 14:16

To add on Manuel answer, additional useful CI/CD info can be found here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/set-up-devops-deployment-single-tenant-azure-logic-apps?tabs=github

And we had to use different App Service SKU for App Service Plan section. Haven't had time to deep-dive in to SKU Topic, but for us only Workflow Standard (WS1 - for example)plans are available.

If you need to parameterize your connections.json - just refer the values to the appsettings like this:

 {
    "managedApiConnections": {
        "documentdb": {
            "api": {
                "id": "/subscriptions/@appsetting('WORKFLOWS_SUBSCRIPTION_ID')/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/norwayeast/managedApis/documentdb"
            },
            "authentication": {
                "type": "ManagedServiceIdentity"
            },
            "connection": {
                "id": "/subscriptions/@appsetting('WORKFLOWS_SUBSCRIPTION_ID')/resourceGroups/INT010/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections/documentdb-test10A"
            },
            "connectionRuntimeUrl": "@appsetting('connection_runtimeUrl')"
        }
    }
}
