For Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Released 14 October 2026.

Azure Template Tool
The designer: an AVD environment with network, compute gallery, image definition and host pool inside a resource group created by the template, with the host pool settings open on the right.

Features

From blank canvas to deployed resources

Pick resources, fill in a few fields, and the tool writes the template, checks it and deploys it for you.

Visual designer

Add resources from a palette, fill in simple forms and link them with dropdowns. Mistakes such as overlapping subnets or invalid names are flagged as you type.

Real ARM templates

Every save is a standard ARM template. Deploy it with the portal, Azure CLI or PowerShell – or reopen it in the app and keep editing.

Deploy from the app

Sign in with your Microsoft account (MFA supported), pick a subscription, validate and deploy – with live progress for every resource.

Creates the resource group too

Let the template create its own resource group and place every resource inside it – one file that sets up a whole environment.

AVD, backup and images

Azure Virtual Desktop host pools with app groups and workspaces, Azure Backup vaults and policies, Compute Gallery image definitions and NAT gateways.

Your template library

Save templates by name, then search, rename, duplicate and export them from My Templates. Start fast from built-in quick-starts.
