Azure Blueprints
Azure Blueprints is a service in Microsoft Azure that enables cloud architects and central IT teams to define a repeatable set of Azure resources that implements and adheres to an organization's standards, patterns, and requirements. It allows for the orchestration of the deployment of various resource templates, policies, role assignments, and resource groups in a single, versioned package. This helps ensure compliance and consistency across Azure environments by providing a declarative way to deploy and update entire environments.
Developers and IT teams should use Azure Blueprints when they need to enforce governance, compliance, and standardization across multiple Azure subscriptions or environments, such as in large enterprises or regulated industries. It is particularly useful for scenarios like setting up new development, testing, or production environments with predefined configurations, ensuring that all deployments adhere to organizational policies and security standards without manual intervention.
