Is 240k CI's for Hardware Templates Normal?

My company has recently begun its journey into the world of CMDB and ITOM. Last week I started a base scan of our Azure subscriptions and on the cmdb_ci_compute_template table, we've discovered 240,000 CI's that appear to just be base machine templates. My first question is how are there that many different machines in Azure? is that normal? my second question is... I went to turn off the discovery pattern to stop pulling these in, but the pattern was already set to inactive. How do I stop these template machines from being pulled into the CMDB? it's a lot of needless items.

Were you ever successful? These Azure hardware templates do not seem to be useful at this time and we are trying to keep the CMDB trim.
