Deployment Steps

Azure CLI or Powershell is recommended to deploy the template. And Portal cannot ignore the optional parameters.

1. Using Azure CLI

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli-azure-resource-manager/

2. Deploy through portal using custom deployment.

3. Deploy through Visual Studio using azuredeploy.json and azuredeploy.parameters.json.

4. Using Powershell (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/powershell-azure-resource-manager/)

## Configure the environment with the Add-AzureRmEnvironment cmdlt
$endptOut = Invoke-RestMethod "$("https://api.$env:USERDNSDOMAIN".ToLowerInvariant())/metadata/endpoints?api-version=1.0"
$envName = "AzureStackCloud"
Add-AzureRmEnvironment -Name ($envName) `
	                -ActiveDirectoryEndpoint ($ActiveDirectoryEndpoint = $($endptOut.authentication.loginEndpoint) + $($endptOut.authentication.audiences[0]).Split("/")[-1] + "/") `
	                -ActiveDirectoryServiceEndpointResourceId ($ActiveDirectoryServiceEndpointResourceId = $($endptOut.authentication.audiences[0])) `
	                -ResourceManagerEndpoint ($ResourceManagerEndpoint = $("https://api.$env:USERDNSDOMAIN".ToLowerInvariant())) `
	                -GalleryEndpoint ($GalleryEndpoint = $endptOut.galleryEndpoint) `
	                -GraphEndpoint ($GraphEndpoint = $endptOut.graphEndpoint) `
	               -StorageEndpointSuffix ($StorageEndpointSuffix="$($env:USERDNSDOMAIN)".ToLowerInvariant()) `
	               -AzureKeyVaultDnsSuffix ($AzureKeyVaultDnsSuffix="vault.$($env:USERDNSDOMAIN)".ToLowerInvariant()) 
## Authenticate a user to the environment 
    $AADUserName = "Enter_AADUserName"
	$AADUserPassword="Enter_AADUserPassword"
	$aadCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($AADUserName, (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $AADUserPassword -AsPlainText -Force))
    $privateEnv = Get-AzureRmEnvironment $envName -Credential $aadCredential
    $privateAzure = Add-AzureRmAccount -Environment $privateEnv -Credential $aadCredential -Verbose
    Select-AzureRmProfile -Profile $privateAzure

## Select an existing subscription where the deployment will take place
    Get-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName "SUBSCRIPTION_NAME"  | Select-AzureRmSubscription
