Deploy ARM Template with Octopus Deploy in a Package

Hello Experts

I have a created an ARM template in Visual Studio, and I need to package the JSON files so that I can use the option in Octopus Deploy to deploy the JSON files within the ARM template as a package - as described in the following link, under section 'Template Contained in a Package

https://octopus.com/docs/deploying-applications/azure-deployments/resource-groups

The problem is that I don't know what application in Visual Studio to package the application? I did some research and I read that the best package to use in nuspec as described here:

However, there are a whole bunch of nuspec applications. The closet I got to what I need is the NuGetToolsPackager, as shown in the image.
