Which Azure governance feature should they use to define and enforce these network settings as reusable templates?
- AAzure Blueprints
- BAzure Advisor

- DAzure Resource Locks
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Azure Blueprints
Azure Blueprints allows you to define a repeatable set of Azure resources, policies, and configurations that can be deployed consistently. This includes network configurations, ensuring standardization across environments.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Azure Advisor provides recommendations for optimizing costs, security, reliability, operational excellence, and performance.
- C. Azure Policy enforces rules and effects over your resources, but it doesn't deploy resources as templates.
- D. Azure Resource Locks prevent accidental deletion or modification of resources, not for templated deployment.
Azure Blueprints
A service that enables you to define a repeatable set of Azure resources, policies, and configurations that implement and adhere to an organization's standards, patterns, and requirements.
