As a Microsoft partner, you can associate Azure usage with any Azure resources you provision on a customer's behalf. This can be done via the Azure Marketplace, the QuickStart repo, private github repos and even 1 on 1 customer engagements. To enable this, there are two approaches available:

1. Azure Resource Manager Templates: Azure Resource Managertemplates or solution templates to deploy the Azure services to run the partner’s software. Partners can create Azure Resource Manager template that defines the infrastructure and configuration of your Azure solution. Creating an Azure Resource Managertemplate allows you and your customers repeatedly deploy your solution throughout its lifecycle and have confidence your resources are deployed in a consistent state.

Today many partner solutions are deployed on a customer’s subscription using Azure Resource Manager templates. If you already have a Azure Resource Managertemplate available in the Azure Marketplace, on GitHub or as a QuickStart, the process of modifying your template to enable this new tracking method should be straight forward.
