A second special type of resource is template deployment. This way, one template can trigger the deployment of another. An example of defining a template deployment as a resource in a template looks as follows:

{
    "type": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments",
    "apiVersion": "2018-05-01",
    "name": "linkedTemplate",
    "properties": {
        "mode": "Incremental",
        "templateLink": {
            "uri":"https://.../myLinkedTemplate.json"
        },
        "parametersLink": {
            "uri":"https://.../myParameters.json"
        }
    }
}

The locations of the template and parameter file can be specified using both HTTP and HTTPS, but have to be publicly accessible locations. As an alternative, a single property template can be specified. This should then contain a whole template as a JSON object.
