This repository is the central repository for the metadata defined in the Azure Portal's Solution center.
Solution center enables our partners to deploy and manage Azure and open-source services and software all with a single metadata-driven repository. Some examples could be deploying webapps or using inexpensive virtual machines for machine learning. Solution center uses the concept of a "solution" to help customers understand and configure services and software with ease.
