Set Azure FileShare Size - ARM Template

Question

I'm looking for a way to set the quota size (ex, 100gb) for the file share I am deploying using Azure ARM Templates. As of now when I deploy it defaults to 5TB which is not ideal. Ideally I would just add a setting to my template.json or parameter.json files that would adjust this setting but I haven't come across anything yet. I'd appreciate any help/guidance on this.

The ARM resource for creating file shares supports providing a quota size using the shareQuota property, this value is in GB.

{
  "name": "string",
  "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices/shares",
  "apiVersion": "2019-04-01",
  "properties": {
    "shareQuota": "100"
  }
}

Thanks for the response. I tried adding the "shareQuota" property to my template.json file and I get the following error - "The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Could not find member 'shareQuota' on object of type 'TemplateResource'. Path 'properties.template.resources[0].resources[0].shareQuota' – jrd1989 Dec 30 '19 at 19:24
Can you show the whole template? – Sam Cogan Dec 30 '19 at 19:24
added it above to the initial question – jrd1989 Dec 30 '19 at 19:38
My apologies, I forgot to remove some previous settings from my code above when I posted it. I was able to get it working by adding the setting you mentioned. I have the following for each share: { "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices/shares", "apiVersion": "2019-04-01", "properties": { "shareQuota": "100" }, – jrd1989 Dec 31 '19 at 19:36
