Create a plan in Azure Stack Hub

Azure Stack Hub plans are groupings of one or more services and their quotas. As a provider, you can create plans to offer to your users. In turn your users subscribe to your offers to use the plans, services, and quotas they include. This example shows you how to create a plan that includes the compute, network, and storage resource providers. This plan gives subscribers the ability to provision virtual machines.

  3. A tabbed user interface appears that enables you to specify the plan name, add services, and define quotas for each of the selected services. Most importantly, you can review the details of the offer you create before you decide to create it.

    Under the Basics tab of the New plan window, enter a Display name and a Resource name. The display name is the plan's friendly name that operators can see. In the administrator portal, plan details are only visible to operators.
