For the REST APIs, the value of `uri` can't be a local file or a file that is only available on your local network. Azure Resource Manager must access the template. Provide a URI value that is downloadable as HTTP or HTTPS.

## Deploy a resource group and resources
You can create a resource group and deploy resources to the group by using a template. For more information, see [Create resource group and deploy resources](../templates/deploy-to-subscription.md#resource-groups).

Typically, you deploy all the resources in your template to a single resource group. However, there are scenarios where you want to deploy a set of resources together but place them in different resource groups or subscriptions. For more information, see [Deploy Azure resources to multiple subscriptions or resource groups](../templates/deploy-to-resource-group.md).
