Welcome to the second blog post (of 2) on creating a complex application deployment gallery item. Part 1 – Prerequisites Part 2 – SQL Gallery item (this post) Now we got all fundamentals in place, we need a deployment template to thigh everything together into a deployable artefact and expose that to the portal via […]
In the last series, I created on this site, I showed you how to create Gallery Items for extensions and SimpleVM deployment. In the meantime, I have been looking into what it would take to create a more complex Gallery Item for one of my Azure Stack TAP customers. One that actually deploys and configures […]
Intro Mark Scholman already published an excellent blog about exposing the portal with a new public FQDN for new Azure Stack deployments.

In this blog, we’ll create a custom […]
