Publish a service catalog application through Azure portal

You can use the Azure portal to publish managed applications that are intended for members of your organization. For example, an IT department can publish managed applications that ensure compliance with organizational standards. These managed applications are available through the service catalog, not the Azure marketplace.

Prerequisites

When publishing a managed application, you specify an identity to manage the resources. We recommend you specify an Azure Active Directory user group. To create an Azure Active Directory user group, see Create a group and add members in Azure Active Directory.

The .zip file that contains the managed application definition must be available through a URI. We recommend that you upload your .zip file to a storage blob.
