Microsoft Azure offers its partners a way to track the amount of data that was uploaded to Azure cloud. Doing so we gain a higher level of visibility and credit for Microsoft partner programs.

You can find more information on the following link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/azure-partner-customer-usage-attribution.

As a Microsoft partner, Datavard can associate Azure usage with any Azure resources that we provision on a customer's behalf.

Currently, Datavard Outboard is registered with Azure.

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is the deployment and management service for Azure. It provides a consistent management layer that enables you to create, update, and delete resources in your Azure subscription. You can use its access control, auditing and tagging features to secure and organize your resources after deployment.

Datavard will use templates for creation of new storage in Azure (or cooperate with customers on doing so).

Each storage template must contain a new resource section which contains information about GUID:

{
"apiVersion": "2018-02-01",
              "name": "pid-d00c8326-946e-5ccb-85e8-ee036222e958",
              "type": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments",

              "properties": {
                             "mode": "Incremental",
                             "template": {
                                           "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
                                           "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
                                           "resources": []
                             }
              }
}
