Deploy a Virtual Machine with User Data	This template allows you to create a Virtual Machine with User Data passed down to the VM. This template also deploys a Virtual Network, Public IP addresses, and a Network Interface.
Deploy a Windows VM with Windows Admin Center extension	This template allows you to deploy a Windows VM with Windows Admin Center extension to manage the VM directly from Azure Portal.
Windows VM with Azure secure baseline	The template creates a virtual machine running Windows Server in a new virtual network, with a public IP address. Once the machine has deployed, the guest configuration extension is installed and the Azure secure baseline for Windows Server is applied. If the configuration of the machines drifts, you can re-apply the settings by deploying the template again.
Deploy a Windows VM with a variable number of data disks	This template allows you to deploy a simple VM and specify the number of data disks at deploy time using a parameter. Note that the number and size of data disks is bound by the VM size. The VM size for this sample is Standard_DS4_v2 with a default of 16 data disks.
Windows Server VM with SSH	Deploy a single Windows VM with Open SSH enabled so that you can connect through SSH using key-based authentication.
Create a data management gateway and install on an Azure VM	This template deploys a virtual machine and creates a workable data management gateway
Virtual machine with an RDP port	Creates a virtual machine and creates a NAT rule for RDP to the VM in load balancer
Create a VM with multiple empty StandardSSD_LRS Data Disks	This template allows you to create a Windows Virtual Machine from a specified image. It also attaches multiple empty StandardSSD data disks by default. Note that you can specify the size and the Storage type (Standard_LRS, StandardSSD_LRS and Premium_LRS) of the empty data disks.
Self-host Integration Runtime on Azure VMs	This template creates a selfhost integration runtime and registers it on Azure virtual machines
Add multiple VMs into a Virtual Machine Scale Set	This template will create N number of VM's with managed disks, public IPs and network interfaces. It will create the VMs in a Virtual Machine Scale Set in Flexible Orchestration mode. They will be provisioned in a Virtual Network which will also be created as part of the deployment
Deploy a VM Scale Set with Linux VMs behind ILB	This template allows you to deploy a VM Scale Set of Linux VMs using the latest patched version of Ubuntu Linux 15.10 or 14.04.4-LTS. These VMs are behind an internal load balancer with NAT rules for ssh connections.
