|
| 17 | +This article describes the steps and requirements for configuring a Container offer on Azure Marketplace. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Before you begin |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +For Quickstarts, Tutorials, and Samples, see [Azure Container Instances](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/container-instances). |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Fundamental technical knowledge |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Designing, building, and testing these assets takes time and requires technical knowledge of both the Azure platform and the technologies used to build the offer. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +In addition to your solution domain, your engineering team should have knowledge about the following Microsoft technologies: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- Basic understanding of [Azure Services](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/) |
| 30 | +- How to [design and architect Azure applications](https://azure.microsoft.com/solutions/architecture/) |
| 31 | +- Working knowledge of [Azure Virtual Machines](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/virtual-machines/), [Azure Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/?filter=storage), and [Azure Networking](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/?filter=networking) |
| 32 | +- Working knowledge of [Azure Resource Manager](https://azure.microsoft.com/features/resource-manager/) |
| 33 | +- Working Knowledge of [JSON](https://www.json.org/). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Suggested tools |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Choose one or both of the following scripting environments to help manage your Container image: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- [Azure PowerShell](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/azure/?view=azps-3.7.0&viewFallbackFrom=azps-3.6.1) |
| 40 | +- [Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/?view=azure-cli-latest). |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +We recommend adding these tools to your development environment: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- [Azure Storage Explorer](https://aka.ms/GetStartedWithStorageExplorer) |
| 45 | +- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) |
| 46 | + - Extension: [Azure Resource Manager Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=msazurermtools.azurerm-vscode-tools) |
| 47 | + - Extension: [Beautify](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=HookyQR.beautify) |
| 48 | + - Extension: [Prettify JSON](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mohsen1.prettify-json). |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Review the available tools on the [Azure Developer Tools](https://azure.microsoft.com/) page. If you're using Visual Studio, review the tools available in the [Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/). |
