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.
