Zone redunacy picker

[Gijsreyn]

As a user, I would like the ability to pick the zone related to the redunacy. It's better to explain it by example. Imagine the following Bicep file:

module cosmosDb 'br/public:avm/res/document-db/database-account:0.10.1' = {
  name: 'cosmosDb'
  params: {
    name: cosmosDbName
    location: 'westus'
    disableLocalAuth: true
    networkRestrictions: {
      publicNetworkAccess: 'Enabled'
      networkAclBypass: 'AzureServices'
      ipRules: [
        '13.91.105.215'
        '4.210.172.107'
        '13.88.56.148'
        '40.91.218.243'
        '0.0.0.0'
      ]
    }
    locations: [
        {
            failoverPriority: 0
            locationName: 'West US'
            isZoneRedundant: false
        }
        {
            failoverPriority: 1
            locationName: 'Central US'
            isZoneRedundant: false
        }
    ]
    enableFreeTier: false
    databaseAccountOfferType: 'Standard'
    backupPolicyType: 'Periodic'
    backupIntervalInMinutes: 240
    backupRetentionIntervalInHours: 720
    backupStorageRedundancy: 'Geo'
    defaultConsistencyLevel: 'Session'
    maxStalenessPrefix: 100
    maxIntervalInSeconds: 5
    sqlDatabases: [
      {
        name: 'test'
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

The location parameter can be set, which takes me to the locations parameter. For the failover priority, I can use: pickZones('Microsoft.DocumentDB', 'databaseAccounts', location). The challenge is in the second part. It would be beneficial if there were a function like: pickZoneReferenceName('Microsoft.DocumentDB', 'databaseAccounts', location).

If this issue has already been captured or if such a function exists, I hope you can steer me in the right direction.

@Gijsreyn what value would pickZoneReferenceName return? Is it the location name?

Hey @jeskew, depending on the scenario, it should be able to return the location name in short or long e.g. westus or West US.
