Hi,

Could anyone please refer me to documentation on how to become an Azure Addon provider, so that programmers can use my product through the Store:

http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/gallery/store/

I found some reference to the bureaucratic/registration aspects (https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-resource-provider-sdk/blob/master/docs/publisher-portal.md)  , but I was looking for technical documentation - especially what API (interfaces) I should implement.

Thanks very much

Hi sol,

please  refer to this document:

For the technical integration, please take a look at our Windows Azure Store SDK. Basically, you will need go through the steps below.

• Author Resource Provider. Note: Your resource provider must perform client certificate validation. You can find the links to client certificates here.
• Author Resource Provider Manifest.
• Perform local testing on your development box using the Dukaan tool.
• Create and submit an offer through the Publisher Portal.
• Let us know when you have submitted the offer via the publisher portal.
  1. If there are no issues, we will approve your offer on the test environment.
  2. Youll be given the details to access the test environment so you can test your offer.
  3. You can make changes to the offer details after submitting it to the test environment, however you would need to ask us to reject your offer before making any changes in the publisher portal.
• Sample App: Please send us a sample app/tutorial. We will use this sample app to verify your service in the test environment. This is required before we can publish your offer in Windows Azure Store. This should include
1. A code sample app (preferably C#)
2. A document describing the steps of how to implement the sample app.

About your question, I think you could view store faq page:http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/store/faq/
