App Templates are packaged app samples designed to reduce the time it takes a developer to deploy their code to Azure. Unlike standalone example code, the goal of App Templates is to provide all the components to deploy an app to Azure with automation via GitHub Actions or other CI/CD services.
Each sample consists of example code, CI/CD components, and documentation containing all the required steps.
App Templates are designed to be compatible with the Azure Developer CLI(azd). These templates follow the same file structure and are straightforward to convert to azd compatible templates once all the components of the template (e.g. programming language) are supported.
App Templates are open to any technology some may not be on the azd roadmap and can be deployed using the READ ME guidance. The purpose of App Templates is to deliver and prove the value of accelerated onboarding for developers who are new to Azure. Developing examples for azd is one of our aims that fit into the broader goal of accelerated developer onboarding.

| Template | Usecase | Azure Services |
|---|---|---|
| .NET app on App Service | Sample application that demonstrates how to deploy ASP.NET Core web app to App Service. | App Service, Azure SQL, Load Testing, App Insights, Key Vault |
| Integration Services - APIM + ServiceBus + Functions + Cosmos | Sample integration app template that walks through setting up API Management policy for sending data to Azure Service Bus. The API Management uses Managed Identity to access the Service Bus REST APIs. A Function is triggered when a message is queued in Service Bus, and it will write message data to Cosmos DB. The Function App uses Managed Identity to get access to Service Bus | APIM, Service Bus, Functions, Cosmos |
| WordPress on Azure Container Apps | In this application template, you'll learn how to and will be able to easily, quickly create and deploy your first scalable and secure WordPress site to Azure, leveraging Azure Container Apps with Azure Database for MariaDb. | Azure Container Apps, APIM, App Service, Functions |
| Java SpringApp with Azure OpenAI | AI Shopping Cart Sample Application with Azure OpenAI and Azure Spring Apps | Azure OpenAI, Spring Apps, App Insights |
| Microservices integration - APIM + Container Apps + AppService + Functions | This sample leverages the Reddog codebase and the Reddog Container Apps bicep modules. It was created to help users deploy a comprehensive, microservice-based sample application to Azure Container Apps, Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure API Management. | Azure Container Apps, APIM, App Service, Functions,Azure Service Bus and Azure Cache for Redis |
| JBoss EAP on Appservice | This sample Pet Store application is built with Maven and deployed to an Azure App Service secured by Azure Firewall | Azure User Defined Routing (UDR), Azure Application Inisghts, Azure Log Analytics, Azure Application Gateway, Azure Fire Wall, Azure Bastion, Azure App Service, Azure PostgreSQL DB |
| Jakarta EE IBM Open Liberty on AKS | This is a sample app template of the Domain-Driven Design Jakarta EE application. The application is built with Maven and deployed to Open Liberty running in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The app template uses the official Azure offer for running Liberty on AKS. The application is exposed by Azure Load Balancer service via Public IP address. | Azure Container Registry, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure PostgreSQL DB |
| Jakarta EE Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) on AKS | This is a sample app template of the Domain-Driven Design Jakarta EE application. The application is built with Maven and deployed to Oracle WebLogic Server running in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The app template uses the official Azure offer for running WLS on AKS. For a quickstart on this offer, see https://aka.ms/wls-aks-quickstart. The application is exposed by Azure Application Gateway | Azure Infra (VNet), Azure Storage Account, Azure Container Registry, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Application Gateway, Azure PostgreSQL DB |
| Java Spring boot on AKS | In this sample app template, the PetClinic application (a Spring Boot based app) is containerized and deployed to a AKS cluster secured by Azure Firewall | Azure PostgreSQL DB, Azure Container Registry (ACR), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Infra (Vnet/Subnet), Azure Fire Wall, Azure Bastion |
| Java microservices based spring boot on AKS | In this sample app template of the PetClinic Microservices application (a Spring Boot based app). Each of the application microservices are containerized and deployed to an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster secured by Azure Firewall | Azure User Defined Routing (UDR), Azure Application Inisghts, Azure Log Analytics, Azure Application Gateway, Azure Fire Wall, Azure Bastion, Azure Container Registry (ACR), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cluster, Azure PostgreSQL DB |
| Spring Boot PetClinic Microservices Application on Azure Red Hat Openshift (ARO) | In this sample app template, the PetClinic application (a Spring Boot based app) is containerized and deployed to an Azure RedHat Openshift (ARO) cluster secured by Azure Firewall | Azure RedHat Openshift (ARO), Azure Container Registry (ACR), MySql DB |
| Spring Boot on Azure Spring Apps | This example shows you how to deploy an existing Java Spring Boot/Cloud application to Azure Spring Apps. When you're finished, you can continue to manage the application with Azure services via the Azure CLI, Bicep templates or switch to using the Azure Portal. | Azure Spring Apps, APIM, Azure Cache for Redis, App Insights, Key Vault |
| Static Web App with Cosmos DB | A sample VueJS Single Page Application on a Static Web App, which queries CosmosDB data through a GraphQL endpoint hosted on an Azure Function | Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Functions, Azure Front Door |
