Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Azure Blueprints is designed for governing at scale. It lets architects package Azure Policy definitions, role-based access control assignments, resource group structures, and ARM templates into a single reusable blueprint. Blueprints are versioned, so updates can move through development, test, and production rings, and a single assignment applies the entire package to a subscription. An initiative assigned at a management group would only deploy policies and lacks integrated RBAC, template deployment, and versioning. Microsoft Defender for Cloud's regulatory compliance dashboard reports on compliance posture but does not deploy or version governance artifacts. Azure Advisor delivers optimization suggestions rather than enforceable compliance controls.
