Modifying the MapR Azure Templates

Suppose you want to customize the installation of a MapR cluster. You might want to predefine variables for your users or restrict the choices for some fields. You might want to define subnet information in a more detailed way. You can do this by modifying the MapR-provided reference templates.

For more information about customizing a template, see About the MapR Reference Templates for Azure and Azure Resource Manager Template Deployment.

After customizing a template, you can run the template using the steps in Running the MapR Azure Templates.
