Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)Describe Azure management and governanceEasy
A company is deploying several applications to Azure. They need to ensure that all resources deployed within a specific subscription automatically inherit a set of defined configurations and policies, such as tagging standards and network settings, to maintain compliance and consistency. Which Azure governance feature should they use?
- AAzure Policy
- BAzure Management Groups
- CAzure Blueprints
- DAzure Resource Groups
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Azure Blueprints
Azure Blueprints allows you to define a repeatable set of Azure resources that implement and adhere to standards, patterns, and requirements. It orchestrates the deployment of various resource templates, policies, and role assignments.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Azure Policy enforces rules and effects on resources, but doesn't orchestrate the deployment of multiple resource types and configurations.
- B. Azure Management Groups are used to organize subscriptions into hierarchies for governance at scale, but they don't directly define and deploy resource configurations like blueprints.
- D. Azure Resource Groups are logical containers for Azure resources, primarily for organization and lifecycle management, not for enforcing automatic inheritance of configurations.
