- DeploymentStackTemplateDefinition — Export Template specific properties of the Deployment stack.
  - `template` object — The template content. Use this element to pass the template syntax directly in the request rather than link to an existing template. It can be a JObject or well-formed JSON string. Use either the templateLink property or the template property, but not both.
  - `templateLink` DeploymentStacksTemplateLink — Entity representing the reference to the template.
    - `uri` string — The URI of the template to deploy. Use either the uri or id property, but not both.
    - `id` string — The resourceId of a Template Spec. Use either the id or uri property, but not both.
    - `relativePath` string — The relativePath property can be used to deploy a linked template at a location relative to the parent. If the parent template was linked with a TemplateSpec, this will reference an artifact in the TemplateSpec. If the parent was linked with a URI, the child deployment will be a combination of the parent and relativePath URIs.
    - `queryString` string — The query string (for example, a SAS token) to be used with the templateLink URI.
    - `contentVersion` string — If included, must match the ContentVersion in the template.

## Other responses
