Hi, this is my first post here. I am following the instructions in the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace/azure-container-technical-assets-kubernetes?tabs=windows%2Clinux2 I used the command cpa buildbundle to build and upload the CNAB to my Azure Container Registry (ACR), but the Defender scan shows vulnerabilities in the CNAB bundle, even though my solution image is free of vulnerabilities. I also scanned the image with Trivy and found Critical and high vulnerabilities in Helm 3, kubectl, and the Docker Engine (Moby). The approach mentioned in the technical asset mounts the Docker engine of the host machine to the Microsoft's image mcr.microsoft.com/container-package-app:latest. My host machine has the Community Edition of Docker Engine, yet the Moby issue persists . Inside the container, I tried running `tdnf clean all && tdnf update`, which updated Moby, but I was unable to update kubectl and Helm. Should I be concerned about these vulnerabilities? I believe they may have been introduced by the CPA tool. The documentation states that for marketplace listings, the repository must be free of vulnerabilities. Additionally, it mentions in the limitations section that single containers are not supported, and my current offering contains only single image. Any tips on how I can address this issue or any remediation steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've set up a SaaS offer in the Azure Marketplace and created a free plan for testing purposes. However, when attempting to subscribe to the offer, I encounter an issue: No plans are available for the selected subscription, despite configuring both yearly and monthly plans. Additionally, a paid plan has been configured. Please see the screenshot below for reference.3.4KViews1like23CommentsLock in marketplace terms for up to five years with multiyear contract durations
Co-authored by Trevor_Yeats Weâre excited to announce that the Microsoft marketplace now supports multiyear contract durationsâenabling customers and partners to lock in terms and pricing for up to five years. New options include four and five-year terms for SaaS and Professional Services, and two, four, and five-year terms for Virtual Machine Software Reservations (VMSR). These contract durations are available globally across all marketplace-supported currencies. The value for your customers and for you With multiyear contract durations, customers can buy with confidence knowing they will have stability and continuity of service, making it easier to plan and forecast expenses and lock in substantial savings that often come with longer contracts. Partners benefit by supporting customersâ budget needs, strengthening customer relationships, reducing administrative burdens, and growing reliable revenue streams. âOur customers value five-year contracts for the stability and long-term value they provide. With multiyear contracts now available in Microsoft marketplace, we can better align with their operational timelines, reduce renewal cycles, and focus on building lasting relationshipsâwhile driving predictable revenue.â Sue Wilkinson, Global Director of Partners, IFS How it works To enable multiyear contract durations, software partners must take the following steps: Create a public offer with multiyear contract durations. Partners must ensure their public offers include extended contract terms before they can create private offers with those durations. Partners have two options: Update an existing public plan to support new options for extended durations (i.e., four and five-year options for SaaS offers and two, four, and five-year options for VMSR), or Create a new public plan that includes multiyear contract durations. Create private offers with multiyear contract durations. Once a public offer with multiyear contract durations is published, partners can configure private offers that leverage those durations. Notes: Existing customer agreements cannot be modified mid-term to extend contract length. Customers must cancel their current plan and purchase a new one that includes the desired extended duration. Multiyear contract durations for CSP offers will be enabled later this summer. Until then, partners can create new offers without opting to resell through CSP to take advantage of extended contract durations. Creating multiyear contracts with flexible billing schedules Partners can create private offers that combine multiyear contract durations with flexible billing optionsâlike quarterly, semiannual, or bimonthlyâmaking it easier to align with customer needs and streamline sales. âMicrosoftâs recent launch of multiyear contracts and flexible billing has been a game changer, simplifying the buying process and enhancing the customer experience. We can now build private offers in the Microsoft marketplace in a more natural way that mirrors our contracts in the platform.â Sue Wilkinson, Global Director of Partners, IFS Learn more about flexible billing schedules and capturing the marketplace opportunity. Eligibility for multiyear contracts and how to get started Any company who is part of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program can sell on the marketplace with multiyear contract durations. Details are provided in our documentation, but at a high-level: Be a member of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (itâs free to join) Sign the marketplace publisher agreement Publish your public offer with multiyear contract durations. Sell private offers with multiyear contract durations. In addition, we have many support resources for partners depending on where they are on their marketplace journey.

Hi Community, We are an ISV and publish Apps on AppSource. Iâve always assumed that anyone with a valid email and credit card could purchase a product through AppSource. The requirements on this Microsoft page seem to support that: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/purchase-software-appsource However, I recently discovered that only Microsoft 365 admins can access order details in the Admin Center. For example, clicking on your badge in AppSource, View all orders in Admin Center, redirects you to this link: https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/subscriptions/apps But if your account isnât an admin, youâll see this message: Switch to an account that has permission Your account (xxxxxx) doesnât have permission to view or manage this page in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This is confusing. If any user can initiate a purchase, why canât they view or manage their orders? And if only admins are meant to complete or manage purchases, why is the checkout process open to all users? Would appreciate any clarification or official guidance on this. Thanks!131Views1like2CommentsExciting updates to the ISV Success Visual Studio benefit!
