 ## Review your work
 
-You've done a lot in the last six tutorials. Let's take a moment to review what you have done. You created a template with parameters that are easy to provide. The template is reusable in different environments because it allows for customization and dynamically creates needed values. It also returns information about the storage account that you could use in your script.
