I have a web application which provides data analysis service and deployed on Azure virtual machine. How can i publish it on Azure Marketplace and in which category it will fall?
There is a complete and documented process for that.
You first need to apply as a certified partner :
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/programs/certified/
Then in the publish steps you will choose up to five categories : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/marketplace-publishing-push-to-staging/#step-4-choose-azure-marketplace-categories
Same thing for all marketing info (logos, pricing, ...)

I created VM for publishing on Azure Marketplace. But I want to test it before I publish it for all. Besides, the publication takes several days.
How to test my offer before publishing on Azure Marketplace?
UPDATE:
I see next screen on Cloud Partner Portal:
Should I publish offer before I can test it?
what you want to test exactly? you can test the ui definition and template separately. you will also have to undergo testing from MS before publication, this readme talks about it in some detail.
You would test template like you normally would.
When you click the Publish button, your offer will be just validated and in preview mode for the subscriptions list you can specify in your offer. This validation takes 40 - 80 minutes.
After that you can send your offer for manual validation by Microsoft engineers, it takes 3-5 days, and your application will be published on Azure Marketplace
I am very new to Azure and Azure market place apps.
I could not find any samples in the Web to create an web application in azure market place. I want to create simple web application then i can publish this in Azure market place. For example, this web application simply retrieves all the users in a SQL table and show the list in a html page.
I tried different solutions in web and also here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg607768.aspx. But could not able to succeed.
I am confused on how to start developing the market place apps. I mean which project template i should use to develop an Market place App.
Can any one please help me how to start developing the web application for Azure market place?
You may check the process outlined in this document Publish and manage an offer in the Azure Marketplace - this article is provided to help - create, deploy, and manage solutions listed in the Azure Marketplace.
Refer to the Marketplace Publisher Guide and Azure managed applications in the Marketplace for details.
Publish a Solution Template: Based on your requirement, you could use the solution templates which allows you to combine multiple items already available in the marketplace to create more powerful solutions.
Whereas, the ‘Publish a Developer Service’ provides fully managed developer services (SAAS) for developers to use in custom application development.
Note: Solutions Template has migrated to the new Cloud Partner Portal (requires registration prior to access).
Additionally, check the Marketplace FAQs (here): Who do I contact with publishing or offer management questions? : Please visit the Azure Marketplace Publisher Guide for up-to-date resource and documentations on frequently asked questions. Additionally, you can log a ticket with Microsoft Support in the Cloud Partner Portal.
Having read
"The Microsoft Antimalware Client and Service is installed by default in a disabled state in all supported Azure guest operating system families in the Cloud Services platform.
...
When using Azure Websites, the underlying service that hosts the web app has Microsoft Antimalware enabled on it. This is used to protect Azure Websites infrastructure and does not run on customer content."
here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/azure-security-antimalware
it appears that although the underlying execution environment is scanned and protected, nothing prevents the deployment of infected files (contrary to the response given here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44805995/8354791).
And therefore the service needs to enabled.
It also appears this can only be done so via powershell, using the Set-AzureServiceAntimalwareExtension command, as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/25847270/8354791 and Powershell: Add Diagnostics/Antimalware to Azure PaaS Cloud Service using ExtensionConfiguration Parameter
Q: the link is a bit old (2015). Is powershell still the only way to turn on debugging for an App Service?
Q: is the analysis of the above text correct that MS is scanning its own environment, but exclude the scanning of files deployed to their services?
Q: is there a cost to enabling this service?
Q: What is the relationship to Malware Assessment (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/log-analytics/log-analytics-malware)? Is that a more current way of scanning Web Apps?
Q: this is a manual approach, using Powershell. Is there a link to understanding how to enable this service using an CI/CD deployed ARM template?
Q: I see this service is mentioned as a solution for scanning deployed code files -- but can this service be used to scan Blobs where uploaded media would be stored?
I know I've asked a lot of questions...but hopefully you agree they are all tightly related...
Thanks immensely!
Azure App Service is a managed platform. Microsoft Antimalware Client and Service is enabled by default on app service instances, there is no user action that allows enabling/disabling this feature for apps hosted in App Service.
All of the documentation you are referencing is about "Azure Cloud Services" and "Azure VM's" and not Azure App Service. Here is the security documentation for Azure App Service: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-security-readme
Malware Assessment is part of OMS suite and its an additional tool for managing large deployments and detecting instances that might be affected by malicious code.
I want to publish an web application on Azure market place.
I can create a Linux VM, install Java, Tomcat, SQL server and create an image of it. But instead of that, is it possible to create a tomcat instance along with database on Azure portal, add it to a resource group and publish this resource group on market place?
Would this approach be more advantageous?
thanks
As per the doc here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace-publishing/marketplace-publishing-getting-started
Azure Marketplace offerings are based on Azure VM images or solution templates, your current solution would be the VM based route. It sounds like you may want to look at the solution template route to leverage other capabilities such as Azure SQL Server.
Neither route enable "publish this resource group to the market place". If that is the route you are aiming for that is essentially building out a multi-tenant application which is a bigger task and perhaps something like this link will help get you started:

Does a developer have to pay for publishing a SaaS app on Windows Azure Marketplace?
How can i publish my web solution to Marketplace
We checked this documentation - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/appserviceteam/2016/08/26/onboarding-to-azure-web-marketplace on how to onboard our web apps in the Azure marketplace and also the GitHub link - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace
We have contacted MSFT on how to host our application which has an API and WCF applications as sub-applications.
MSFT replied that sub applications are not currently supported in through this onboarding model.
So, we are trying to onboard the three applications individually and link them in the Azure marketplace. We are not sure whether this will work or if this is possible.
In the sample applications in the GitHub link - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace, they have a hosting plan JSON file for the web app resource. Can we link the applications using this hosting plan JSON file?
We could not find any information or definition related to this hosting plan file - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace/blob/master/WebApp-SQLDatabase/DeploymentTemplates/Website_NewHostingPlan_SQL_NewDB-Default.json
Does anyone tried this before or know how to do this?
sub applications are not currently supported in through this onboarding model.
From the documentation, we could know if web app need Virtual application setting to be configured for web app, we will not be able to on board the application.
we are trying to onboard the three applications individually and link them in the Azure marketplace. We are not sure whether this will work or if this is possible.
In my view, if you on board these application individually, it may not enable us to bundle multi individual applications to make them link with each other. You could contact with Azure marketplace support team.
We could not find any information or definition related to this hosting plan file - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace/blob/master/WebApp-SQLDatabase/DeploymentTemplates/Website_NewHostingPlan_SQL_NewDB-Default.json
In the link you posted, we could find that it is an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template that is used to define resources you want to deploy. This article explained about the Azure Resource Manager template, please refer to it.
