I created VM for publishing on Azure Marketplace. But I want to test it before I publish it for all. Besides, the publication takes several days.

How to test my offer before publishing on Azure Marketplace?

UPDATE:

I see next screen on Cloud Partner Portal:

enter image description here

Should I publish offer before I can test it?

what you want to test exactly? you can test the ui definition and template separately. you will also have to undergo testing from MS before publication, this readme talks about it in some detail.

You would test template like you normally would.

  • I only started work with Azure Marketplace and created simple VM offer for test. I need create Managed Application with a lot of resources and servers. I want to test how it will work together before publication. – FiftiN Dec 05 '18 at 11:32
  • I want to deploy the offer to my account without publishing it on Marketplace. Is it possible? – FiftiN Dec 05 '18 at 11:37
  • just deploy a template like you normally would, or you can create a managed application using the same Ui definition to mimic marketplace workflow. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/managed-applications/overview – 4c74356b41 Dec 05 '18 at 11:38
  • I need ability to create new servers dynamically over API. Managed Apps provide this ability. But I need to test how it will work for final users. – FiftiN Dec 05 '18 at 11:44
  • It seems I do not understand something. I created App, but how I can test it? I must publish it? – FiftiN Dec 05 '18 at 11:57

When you click the Publish button, your offer will be just validated and in preview mode for the subscriptions list you can specify in your offer. This validation takes 40 - 80 minutes. After that you can send your offer for manual validation by Microsoft engineers, it takes 3-5 days, and your application will be published on Azure Marketplace
