Using predefined internal IP's with loops when creating VM's

[uky2019]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to the following properly in bicep, I searched through loop examples but could not produce anything that would work, so:

I am deploying several VMs and NICs like so:

resource VMNIC 'Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces@2021-02-01' = [for i in range(0,3): {
  name: '$VM0${i+1}-NIC'
  location: general.location
  properties: {
    ipConfigurations: [
      {
        name: 'ipconfig1'
        properties: {
          privateIPAllocationMethod: 'Dynamic'
          subnet: {
            id: subnetvm.id
          }
          applicationSecurityGroups: [
            {
               id: vmasg.id
            }
         ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
 }]

What I would like to achieve is somehow predefine IPs, like:

var staticIps = [

    '172.150.2.50'
    '172.150.2.55'
    '172.150.2.60'
]

resource VMNIC 'Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces@2021-02-01' = [for i in range(0,3): {
  name: '$VM0${i+1}-NIC'
  location: general.location
  properties: {
    ipConfigurations: [
      {
        name: 'ipconfig1'
        properties: {
          privateIPAllocationMethod: 'Static'
          privateIPAddress: [for IPS in staticIps....] //DO LOOP MAGIC HERE, so it takes each IP for each different NIC
          subnet: {
            id: subnetvm.id
          }
          applicationSecurityGroups: [
            {
               id: vmasg.id
            }
         ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
 }]

How would I achieve this?
I know I can use dynamic IPs and convert them to static, but for reasons I want to have exactly those ips...

did you tried to loop over staticIP instead of range(0,3) where private IP adr is 'i'

So I have tested this, is working but the naming is not what I would like to have. So if I use @azMantas solution I get NIC's named:

VM0-50-NIC
VM0-55-NIC
VM0-60-NIC

This is not desired since I would like my naming to be

VM01-NIC
VM02-NIC
VM03-NIC

I do not want to have anything in the name of NIC that reflects the IP...

[azMantas]

what about this solution?

var staticIps = [
  {
    ip: '172.150.2.50'
    name: '01'
  }
  {
    ip: '172.150.2.50'
    name: '02'
  }
  {
    ip: '172.150.2.50'
    name: '03'
  }
]

resource VMNIC 'Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces@2021-02-01' = [for ip in staticIps: {
  name: '$VM${ip.name}-NIC'
  location: general.location
  properties: {
    ipConfigurations: [
      {
        name: 'ipconfig1'
        properties: {
          privateIPAllocationMethod: 'Static'
          privateIPAddress: ip.ip
          subnet: {
            id: subnetvm.id
          }
          applicationSecurityGroups: [
            {
               id: vmasg.id
            }
         ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
 }]

@azMantas thank you this works perfectly. This can be marked as answer.

Would it be possible, to instead of manually adding a name property to each item within the staticips array, to use the index numer of the ip within the array of staticips to dynamically determine the name?
