<p>Azure is Microsoft's cloud offering. Each possible resource that can be deployed in Azure has a location it's deployed in, such as &quot;East US&quot; or &quot;Italy.&quot; While some resources can be deployed in all locations, other resources have location constraints.</p>
<p>It's common, when deploying, to have a whole ecosystem of resources that will work together. However, this introduces a problem: which locations work for all resources in a deployment?</p>
<p>Let's dig in. (Want just the outcome? Check the <a href="#summary">summary</a>.)</p>

<p>A lot just happened there besides <code>dirname</code>. <code>{modules[@]}</code> is all the array elements (as opposed to just <code>$modules</code>, which evaluates to the first element). <code>${#modules[@]}</code>, on the other hand - note the pound sign - is the number of elements in the array.</p>
