Follow these steps exactly. Do not skip or reorder steps. --- ## Context Child resources exist only within the scope of another resource (e.g., a subnet within a virtual network). In AVM, child modules deploy these child resources and live inside their parent module's folder structure. By default, child modules are **not** independently published — they must be explicitly published. Publishing a child module does **not** move or reorganize any files. The child module stays in its existing folder within the parent. > **Important**: This process is currently in pilot/preview phase. Only resource modules (`avm/res/`) are supported. Pattern and utility modules are not supported. --- ## Workflow Follow instructions in the [AVM Bicep Child Module Publishing](https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/contributing/bicep/bicep-contribution-flow/child-module-publishing/) documentation for the full step-by-step process, including code snippets and file templates. --- > Source: [Azure/bicep-registry-modules](https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
