You are on the right track. Complete all the steps in your publish.windowsazure.com account. Ultimately, you will have to pay a commission of $ 100 per developer account to publish it live, but you can complete and test it before you pay.
The certification tool is here. It will output another zip file that you upload when you request certification. It seems that it takes several hours a day for certification to be approved for production.
Certification is not the same as publication! Certification allows you to “focus” your solution template on the Azure subscription ID of your choice. You can then search for the phased template from this subscription and test end-to-end deployment.
All this in the publishing portal, just a matter of going through the steps. When you register / pay for a developer account, you will receive an email from Microsoft with various ways to contact them for help. You can call them too, they support ISV very well, especially for Azure.
Reply to the comments, and maybe we can click this in the chat, if you have more questions, help with pleasure, the solution is just published, so I'm familiar with the process.
