Q:

VSTS Azure Resource Group Deployment Task API Version

I've recently upgraded my ARM Templates to use the new API Version "2017-05-10"  for the "Microsoft. Resources/deployments" type to take advantage of a new feature. 
In doing so, the Azure Resource Group Deployment task in VSTS fails because I believe the API version used by the Azure Resource Group Deployment task is an older version.  The Error I receive is:

[error] Deployment template validation failed: 'The template resource 'rds-poc-1' at line '1' and column '4188' is invalid.  The nested deployment has api-version '2017-05-10', which is not supported in api-version '2016-07-01' used to deploy the template.  Please use api-version '2017-05-10' or later to deploy the template.  Or use an older api-version for the nested deployment in the template. 

Can anyone verify and make any suggestions? 
Thanks in advance! 

A:

Deploy using powershell (don't forget to update it before), not VSTS build step.
