cloud network resource name overwrite the custom name

[DavidCsv]

Hi

My network profile is set for one of the Azure VNET's subnet

Below are the yml code,  I want the name specified under properties to be used as resource name of the NIC(network) created on Azure

But everytime, it creates as the subnet name+'_unique string' on azure.

Is there any way to overwrite and use the name under properties?

resources:

  Cloud_Network_1:

    type: Cloud.Network

    properties:

      networkType: existing

      name: '${input.Hostname + "nic01"}'

      tags: '${input.Tags}'

      constraints:

        - tag: '${input.Cloud}'

        - tag: '${input.Region}'

        - tag: '${input.Environment}'

        - tag: '${input.Tenant}'

        - tag: '${input.Tier}'

Thanks

According to the deployment API the property name should be "resourceName" but it does not seem to be passed to Azure. Tried with 

azurevm:
  type: Cloud.Azure.Machine
  properties:
  count: '${input.count}'
  image: rhel7
  flavor: small
  resourceGroupName: vra8
  networks:
    - network: '${resource.azurenetwork.id}'
      assignPublicIpAddress: false
      name: mynicname
      resourceName: 'myresname'

Result:

$ curl -s -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" 'https://vra8.corp.local/deployment/api/deployments/6d6ac153-d5cf-455a-b336-72efd5b22f47/resources/3d...' | jq .properties.networks

[
{
"id": "/resources/network-interfaces/086da1a6-20d6-41d6-a69d-06d2d05a4bd5",
"name": "mynicname",

"assignment": "dynamic",
"deviceIndex": 0,
"resourceName": "subnet1_wSRrQSFh",
"assignPublicIpAddress": false
}
]

Only vRA internal name used:

vRA 8.5 provides a new IaaS API that allows custom naming of NICs. I wrote a vRO workflow to update the name, but you could use ABX as well if you prefer.
