This template also deploys a Virtual Network, Public IP address and Network Interfaces. In this template, we use the resource loops capability to create the network interfaces and virtual machines
VNS3 network appliance for cloud connectivity and security	VNS3 is a software only virtual appliance that provides the combined features and functions of a security appliance, application delivery controller and unified threat management device at the cloud application edge. Key benefits, on top of cloud networking, always on end to end encryption, federate data centres, cloud regions, cloud providers, and/or containers, creating one unified address space, attestable control over encryption keys, meshed network manageable at scale, reliable HA in the cloud, isolate sensitive applications (fast low cost Network Segmentation), segmentation within applications, Analysis of all data in motion in the cloud. Key network functions; virtual router, switch, firewall, vpn concentrator, multicast distributor, with plugins for WAF, NIDS, caching, proxy, load balancers and other layer 4 thru 7 network functions, VNS3 doesn't require new knowledge or training to implement, so you can integrate with existing network equipment.
WildFly 18 on CentOS 8 (stand-alone VM)	This template allows you to create a CentOS 8 VM running WildFly 18.0.1.Final and also deploy a web application called JBoss-EAP on Azure, you can login into the Admin Console using the Wildfly username and password configured at the time of the deployment.
Windows Docker Host with Portainer and Traefik pre-installed	Windows Docker Host with Portainer and Traefik pre-installed
Windows Server VM with SSH	Deploy a single Windows VM with Open SSH enabled so that you can connect through SSH using key-based authentication.
Windows VM with Azure secure baseline	The template creates a virtual machine running Windows Server in a new virtual network, with a public IP address. Once the machine has deployed, the guest configuration extension is installed and the Azure secure baseline for Windows Server is applied. If the configuration of the machines drifts, you can re-apply the settings by deploying the template again.
Windows VM with O365 Pre-installed	This template creates a Windows based VM. It creates the VM in a new vnet, storage account, nic, and public ip with the new compute stack.
Zookeeper cluster on Ubuntu VMs	This template creates a 'n' node Zookeper cluster on Ubuntu VMs. Use the scaleNumber parameter to specify the number of nodes in this cluster
