Mastering Managed Application offers
ARM deployments into the customer tenant with publisher-managed operations—ideal when you need ongoing control of deployed resources or bundled PaaS components.
Managed Application offers are a way to deploy Azure resources alongside a VM or Container offer into the customer tenant. This course covers the basics of creating and publishing Managed Application offers.
Managed Applications overview
