List of providers and templates for ASDK testing

Hi,

I've been tinkering with ASDK. I noticed that App Service is available which I have set up, sadly that SQL support for ASDK was dropped. Is there a list anywhere that shows what other services one could set up in ASDK? (Like app services).
And a second question, is there a repo anywhere that has some templates that are compatible with ASDK? Think of things such as deploying an AD environment for testing. So far the ones I have tried for normal Azure, do not work on ASDK as they tend to fail with an API version error (API version for compute doesn't exist is a common one). Unless there's a fix for it that I don't know of.

    @Michael Goossens ,

    The Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK) is a single-node deployment of Azure Stack that allows you to evaluate, test, and demonstrate Azure Stack capabilities. It is designed to help developers, and IT professionals familiarize themselves with the Azure Stack platform and to test and validate Azure Stack solutions.

    Here is a list of Azure services that are available in ASDK:

    • Virtual Machines
    • Virtual Machine Scale Sets
    • App Service (Web Apps, API Apps, and Functions)
    • Blob Storage
    • Table Storage
    • Queue Storage
    • Azure Active Directory (AAD)
    • Key Vault
    • Networking (Virtual Networks, Load Balancers, and VPN Gateway)
    • Traffic Manager
    • Azure Resource Manager

    Note that SQL support for ASDK was indeed removed in a recent update. If you want to use SQL Server in Azure Stack, you can deploy SQL Server in a virtual machine or use the Azure SQL Database service, which is available in Azure Stack.

    Several templates are available with ASDK, including templates for deploying an Active Directory (AD) environment. These templates can be found in the Azure Stack Hub Marketplace, a repository of Azure Resource Manager templates, virtual machine images, and other resources that can be deployed on Azure Stack.

    To find templates for deploying an AD environment on ASDK, you can search the Marketplace for "Active Directory" or "AD" and filter the results by "ASDK." This should give you a list of templates that are compatible with ASDK and can be used to deploy an AD environment for testing.

    It's also worth noting that some templates designed for use with Azure may not be compatible with ASDK due to differences in the API versions and other technical differences between Azure and Azure Stack. Suppose you encounter an error when deploying a template due to an API version issue. In that case, you may need to modify the template or use a different template that is specifically designed for use with ASDK.

    I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Hello @Michael Goossens ,
    Welcome to Microsoft QnA.
    Apologies for the delay in response. TO add to what Ravi has specified above, regarding your second query, you can use the deployment template resource from the portal and use the quick-start templates that are shown on the drop down.
    They are azure stack hub specific .
    Not sure if we have one for ad but there are a few others.
    Here is the ASH Quickstart repo which is linked from the UX as I mentioned above.
    Github - AzureStack QuickStart Templates

    Hope this helps. Feel free to reach back for any additional queries.

    Please accept as answer if the above information is helpful.
