Name	Description	Value
name	The resource name See how to set names and types for child resources in Bicep.	string (required)
location	Resource location	string (required)
tags	Resource tags	Dictionary of tag names and values. See Tags in templates

Quickstart templates

The following quickstart templates deploy this resource type.

Template	Description
SharePoint Subscription / 2019 / 2016 fully configured	Create a DC, a SQL Server 2022, and from 1 to 5 server(s) hosting a SharePoint Subscription / 2019 / 2016 farm with an extensive configuration, including trusted authentication, user profiles with personal sites, an OAuth trust (using a certificate), a dedicated IIS site for hosting high-trust add-ins, etc... The latest version of key softwares (including Fiddler, vscode, np++, 7zip, ULS Viewer) is installed. SharePoint machines have additional fine-tuning to make them immediately usable (remote administration tools, custom policies for Edge and Chrome, shortcuts, etc...).
GitLab Omnibus	This template simplifies the deployment of GitLab Omnibus on a Virtual Machine with a public DNS, leveraging the public IP's DNS. It utilizes the Standard_F8s_v2 instance size, which aligns with reference architecture and supports up to 1000 users (20 RPS). The instance is pre-configured to use HTTPS with a Let's Encrypt certificate for secure connections.
