Recently I have become interested in creating a Microsoft Azure Marketplace plugin for our API Developer Portal product DynamicApis.com. We currently have a BizSpark account but I am having trouble finding out where to start when it comes to creating and uploading a Marketplace application on Azure. Here are some questions that I have.
What is the process that I need to go through in order to apply to put my product on Azure Marketplace?
I am assuming there is an API that Azure has that you use to plug-in your application. Where can I find information on that API, sandbox environment, etc?
Is there any helpful documentation, contacts, or any material that anyone can provide me to help with this process

I would like to submit an offering to the Azure Marketplace but I want the offering to be a trial version only. So, the user will have access to it for a certain period only and it will be free.
The offering I want to submit is a VM offering and right now I have an image of the VM ready.
I did not find much information on how can I achieve this or whether it is possible to only submit the trial version on Azure marketplace.
If you want to create a trial version VM offer, please set License Model as "Usage-based monthly billed SKU" in SKU tab when you create offer. For more details, please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/cloud-partner-portal/virtual-machine/cpp-skus-tab.

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.
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.
I wanted to create a "Redis Cloud" via the Azure marketplace but I didn't found this service in the marketplace list.
Doesn't it exist anymore? Why?
Or is there some kind of limitation, e.g. it's only available for certain types of Azure subscriptions?
I'm wondering because via redislabs.com I can still choose "Azure" for creating a Redis Cloud - but not via Azure marketplace.
Sadly, you are right Munchkin.
I've looked into the matter and it appears that our Redis Cloud plugin is stuck in limbo between the old and new portals. This is an Azure team issue and we're waiting for a resolution from them.
Until this is rectified, note that you can always create a direct subscription via our website however and do feel free to contact our support team with any questions.
You can find it in the "New Portal" Azure Marketplace, http://portal.azure.com. There you should be able to find it listed as "Redis Cache" or Redis Cloud, first one is Managed by Microsoft, the second one is IaaS on a VM.
