Deploy MySQL PaaS by using Azure Resource Manager templates
This article describes how to use Azure Resource Manager templates to rapidly deploy MySQL PaaS and other popular apps.
About Azure Resource Manager templates
A Resource Manager template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines one or several resources that are to be deployed to resource groups. It also defines the dependencies among the resources being deployed. By using templates, you can repeatedly deploy resources in a consistent manner. For more information about Resource Manager and Resource Manager templates, see Azure Resource Manager Overview.
Use Resource Manager templates to deploy MySQL PaaS
This section describes how to use PowerShell with Resource Manager templates to deploy MySQL PaaS on Azure. Your template might be a local file, or an external file that you access via a URI. If the template resides in a storage account, you can restrict access to the template and provide a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token during the deployment process.
To get started quickly with your deployment (this example uses PowerShell 1.0.0 or later), use the following PowerShell commands:
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name ExampleResourceGroup -Location "chinaeast"
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -Name ExampleDeployment -ResourceGroupName ExampleResourceGroup -TemplateFile c:\MyTemplates\example.json
These commands create a resource group and deploy the template to the resource group. The template file is a local file. If this operation is successful, you will be able to obtain all the required deployed resources.
The following code is a fairly complete Resource Manager template in JSON format. You can modify the template to meet your specific requirements.

Publish an ARM Template on the Azure Marketplace
You can publish a customized Resource Manager template on the Marketplace to enable users to implement one-click deployment for all cloud services. For detailed instructions on how to publish an ARM template to the Marketplace, see the Azure Marketplace Publisher Guide.
Azure Marketplace is a warehouse that’s used by third-party independent software vendors (ISVs) to publish mirror-image software. By using the Marketplace, Azure customers can create new virtual machine instances and download and use the third-party images that they need. This function helps companies that are looking for innovative cloud-based solutions to get in direct contact with Azure ISV partners that develop innovative solutions.
The Marketplace makes it easier to find, obtain, and use apps that are built and thoroughly tested on Azure, so you can be certain that the app can be trusted and runs smoothly on Azure.
The Marketplace brings new business channels and users to ISVs, while also greatly simplifying the promotion, management, and deployment of software. We strongly recommend that you use mirror images to deploy relevant apps. With just a few clicks, you can rapidly obtain system environments or software identical to the mirror image. This means that you don’t need to worry about infrastructure and environment configuration. You can conveniently create ready-to-use runtime environments for every platform.
