web api post dynamic type and validation

I developing a method that accepts various messages and returns the some result. The main goal is that message formats can be added without rebuilding the project. Two types of the messages is below:
{
"PushToken": "ksjdfhskfhskdjfhskjdfhk",
"Alertе": "ssffsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsfs sfsdfsdf sfsdfsdfs",
"Priority": 5,
"IsBackground": false
}
and
{
"DeviceToken": "ksjdfhskfhskdjfhskjdfhkkh7khsdfjk8sdfsdfsddddddddddddddd",
"Message": "ssffsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsfs sfsdfsdf sfsdfsdfs",
"Title": "asdasdas",
"Condition": "asfdasf"
}
I thinked how to validate messages and decided using json schema's. They are below:
{
"title":"IOS",
"description": "IOS Message",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"PushToken": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 50 },
"Alert": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 2000 },
"Priority": { "type": "number", "default": 10 },
"IsBackground": { "type": "boolean", "default": true }
},
"required":[
"PushToken",
"Alert"
],
"additionalProperties": false
}
and
{
"title":"Android",
"description": "Android message",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"DeviceToken": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 50 },
"Message": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 2000 },
"Title": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 255 },
"Condition": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 2000 }
},
"required":[
"DeviceToken",
"Message",
"Title"
],
"additionalProperties": false
}
For validating I using thomething like that:
JSchema schema = JSchema.Parse(iosJsonSchema);
IList<string> errorMessages;
bool valid = iosJsonMessage.IsValid(schema, out errorMessages); //iosJsonMessage - JObject type
In IList<string> messages I receive all errors. In bool valid variable I receive validation result.
Is there a way to check only properties names of the json request? And only those names that are declare in required section of the json schema. I want to do this for understanding the type of the message.
And a more general question. Is this an acceptable solution for task that I described above?
Thanks.

Simple ARM template not working in Azure Cli

I have a simple ARM deployment script
az deployment group create \
--name <NAME> \
--resource-group <ResourceGroup> \
--template-file template.json \
--parameters #parameters.json
This has a template file
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"connections_ftp_name": {
"defaultValue": "ftp",
"type": "String"
}
},
"variables": {},
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Web/connections",
"apiVersion": "2016-06-01",
"name": "[parameters('connections_ftp_name')]",
"location": "ukwest",
"kind": "V1",
"properties": {
"displayName": "[parameters('connections_ftp_name')]",
"customParameterValues": {},
"api": {
"id": "[concat('/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/ukwest/managedApis/', parameters('connections_ftp_name'))]"
}
}
}
]
}
And a parameter file
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"connections_ftp_name": {
"value": "my-name"
}
}
}
When I run this via Azure CLI I get the error
az deployment group create \
> --name DeployMonitorFtp5 \
> --resource-group middleware.prod.rg \
> --template-file template.json \
> --parameters #parameters.json
←[K←[K←[91mDeployment failed. Correlation ID: 1f5b34ad-3105-4dfd-b4ca-d38a98fb800a. {
"error": {
"code": "ApiNotFound",
"message": "The API 'my-name' could not be found."
}
}←[0m
This makes no sense at all given I want to create the resource!
Can someone help please?

IT is not related to Az Cli.
The api element should not referenced the parameter connections_ftp_name. it should be :
"api": {
"id": "[concat('/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/ukwest/managedApis/ftp')]"
}
When creating a logic app connector, you should also specify the connector, here is a complete sample to create a ftp connector:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"ftpConnectionAPIName": {
"type": "string",
"metadata": {
"description": "The name of the connection api to access the ftp."
}
},
"ftpServerAddress": {
"type": "string",
"metadata": {
"description": "The name of the ftp server address."
}
},
"ftpUsername": {
"type": "string",
"metadata": {
"description": "The name of the ftp user name."
}
},
"ftpPassword": {
"type": "securestring",
"metadata": {
"description": "The name of the ftp password."
}
}
},
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Web/connections",
"name": "[parameters('ftpConnectionAPIName')]",
"apiVersion": "2016-06-01",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"scale": null,
"properties": {
"displayName": "[parameters('ftpConnectionAPIName')]",
"parameterValues": {
"serverAddress": "[parameters('ftpServerAddress')]",
"userName": "[parameters('ftpUsername')]",
"password": "[parameters('ftpPassword')]"
},
"api": {
"id": "[concat('subscriptions/', subscription().subscriptionId, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/', resourceGroup().location, '/managedApis/ftp')]"
}
}
}
]
}

Please make sure the tab configuration url is correct.

A great way to test your Adaptive Cards is to use the Adaptive Card Designer or the card editor in App Studio in Microsoft Teams. If a preview isn't rendered then there's something wrong with your card.
In your case, you say you want to use Adaptive Cards 1.2.2 but you're including "version": "1.0" in your JSON. You might want to say "version": "1.2" instead, but keep in mind that the higher the version of your Adaptive Card the fewer clients will be able to render it.
More importantly, you're putting an actions property in both columns and column sets and neither of those have an actions property. Please refer to the schema to see what elements have what properties. You might mean to use an action set (a 1.2 feature), or you might just want to use the actions property of the card itself outside of the card's body.
More importantly still, you have more opening brackets than closing brackets and so your JSON is invalid. I suspect you forgot to close your last column set and its columns array. Please use an editor like Visual Studio Code to automatically format your JSON and make sure it's valid. It's also good etiquette to correctly format your JSON in your Stack Overflow question so that other people can read it without formatting it for you.
Please read my latest blog post for more information about Adaptive Cards and using them with the Microsoft Bot Framework.

How to mount a File Storage volume to an azure container instance using REST api

I'm trying to create an Azure container instance and mounting a File Storage volume via REST API, but I'm getting 400 response.
I'm able to create the container and keep it running but when I add the volume part it returns a 400 response (Bad request) without further explanation
Here is the JSON payload I'm sending to the REST endpoint:
{
"id": "/subscriptions/111111111/resourceGroups/OraResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/solver",
"location": "West Europe",
"name": "solver",
"properties": {
"volumes": [
{
"azureFile": {
"shareName": "orafileshare",
"storageAccountKey": "somekey",
"storageAccountName": "myaccountname"
},
"name": "Volume1"
}
],
"containers": [
{
"name": "solver",
"properties": {
"command": [],
"environmentVariables": [],
"image": "acraccount/solver:v1",
"ports": [
{
"port": 12345
}
],
"resources": {
"requests": {
"cpu": 1.0,
"memoryInGB": 1.5
}
},
"volumeMounts": [
{
"name": "Volume1",
"mountPath": "/mountFolder"
}
]
}
}
],
"imageRegistryCredentials": [
{
"password": "123123123213123",
"server": "acr.server.io",
"username": "acrOra"
}
],
"ipAddress": {
"ports": [
{

}
],
"type": "Public"
},
"osType": "Linux",
"restartPolicy": "Always"
},
"type": "Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups"
}
The expected results is a 200 or 201 response and the container should appear on my Azure portal dashboard but the actual response is 400.

There are 2 issues with this correction. I also received 400 bad request but later corrected it and I was able to run it successfully.
Name of volume, capital letter is not allowed.
Change "Volume1" to "volume1"
Reference Error :
{"error":{"code":"InvalidVolumeName","message":"The volume name 'Volume1' is invalid. The volume name must match the regex '[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?' (e.g. 'my-name')."}}
Sku is not a valid property, Remove it
{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequestContent","message":"The request
content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Could not find
member 'sku' on object of type 'ComputeResources'. Path
