**What is Marketplace?**\
\
The Azure **Marketplace** is an online store that offers a wide range of software applications, services, and solutions built by Microsoft and its partners. It provides pre-configured, ready-to-use solutions for various needs, including virtual machines, databases, application services, and more. Users can browse, purchase, and deploy these solutions directly from the Marketplace to streamline the process of integrating third-party tools and services into their Azure environment.
