In the previous part of this chapter, we had a deeper look into defining our Azure managed applications template. Because of the complexity and the structure of those templates, Microsoft has decided to give us some help to check our template structure and to test and validate the created template files.
The checks which we are going to see in this part of the chapter are a very important steps in validating our template and getting our template ready for either the Azure internal service catalog or the Azure Marketplace.
Microsoft itself has included these checks into their review of any template submitted for approval, so this is a critical step in delivering an robust Azure managed application template to the marketplace.
