Looking for some community help for anyone that's had experience setting up Data Center in Azure.

• 1. Does a windows OS template exist like there is for Linux OS?

  2. If not would the design out lay of windows Jira Data center be laid out in the same fashion that the Linux built in template is?

  3. The way we envision a Windows design is as follows. Can you confirm if this is a viable path for using Windows OS? If not can you provide a recommendation for a Windows design in Azure using Windows OS?
