Deploy the MedTech service including an Azure IoT Hub	The MedTech service is one of the Azure Health Data Services designed to ingest device data from multiple devices, transform the device data into FHIR Observations, which are then persisted in the Azure Health Data Services FHIR service.
Deploy Azure Data Explorer db with Event Grid connection	Deploy Azure Data Explorer db with Event Grid connection.
Deploy Azure Data Explorer db with Event Hub connection	Deploy Azure Data Explorer db with Event Hub connection.
Azure SQL Server with Auditing written to Event Hub	This template allows you to deploy an Azure SQL server with Auditing enabled to write audit logs to Event Hub
Create SQL MI with configured sending of logs and metrics	This template allows you to deploy SQL MI and additional resources used for storing logs and metrics (diagnostic workspace, storage account, event hub).
