Telemetry

Each leveraged AVM module (https://aka.ms/avm) contains a defaultTelemetry deployment 'pid-<GUID>-${uniqueString(deployment().name)}', resulting in deployments such as 'pid-<GUID>-nx2c3rnlt2wru'.

Note: Though implemented at each level in a module hierarchy (e.g. storage account & blobServices), the deployment will only happen for the top-level module in a deployment, but not for its children. To illustrate this better, see the following examples:

• Deployment of the KeyVault module and 2 Secrets: Results in 1 PID deployment for the KeyVault (and none for the secrets)
• Deployment of the Secret module: Results in 1 PID deployment for the Secret

This resource enables the team responsible for AVM to query the number of deployments of a given template from Azure - and as such get insights into its adoption.

If you want to prevent this deployment to take place, it is enough to set the 'enableDefaultTelemetry' parameter in each module to a default value of 'false'.

Note: The deployment and its GUID can NOT be used to track Azure Consumed Revenue (ACR).

If you want to track consumption, you must add your own PID deployment, apply the required naming format 'pid-<GUID>' (without the suffix).
