Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)Describe Azure management and governanceMedium
A company is migrating its on-premises virtual machines to Azure. They want to ensure that the Azure VMs consistently use specific naming conventions, tags, and network configurations as defined by their corporate standards. Furthermore, they need to deploy a consistent set of security policies for these VMs. Which Azure governance feature is designed to orchestrate the deployment of multiple Azure resources, including policies and resource templates, in a repeatable manner?
- AAzure Resource Graph
- BAzure Monitor
- CAzure Policy
- DAzure Blueprints
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Azure Blueprints
Azure Blueprints allows you to define a repeatable set of Azure resources, policies, and configurations that implement and adhere to an organization's standards, patterns, and requirements. It orchestrates the deployment of various resource templates, policy assignments, and role assignments.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Azure Resource Graph provides a way to explore and query Azure resources at scale, but does not deploy or enforce configurations.
- B. Azure Monitor collects and analyzes telemetry data for insights and alerts, not for orchestrating resource deployments.
- C. Azure Policy enforces rules and standards on existing or newly created resources, but Azure Blueprints orchestrates the entire deployment of compliant environments including multiple policies and resources.
