Question

A DevOps team wants to deploy the same set of Azure resources (a virtual network, storage account, and web app) identically across development, test, and production subscriptions. They want the deployment to be repeatable, version-controlled in their Git repository, and native to Azure without third-party tooling. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Answer

Manually create each resource through the Azure portal in every subscription

Answer

Answer
