Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question

You are a platform engineer designing an Azure Deployment Environments (ADE) solution. You have defined 'Development' and 'Production' environment types. Company policy requires that all resources for 'Production' environments are created in a specific, highly-restricted Azure subscription and deployed using a dedicated managed identity. 'Development' environments must use a separate subscription. Which ADE component must you configure with these distinct subscription and identity settings for each environment type?

The environment definition
The dev center
The catalog
The project environment type

Answer Description

In Azure Deployment Environments, the 'project environment type' is the component that links a dev center environment type (e.g., 'Production') to a specific project. This is where crucial governance settings are defined, including the target Azure subscription for resource creation, the managed identity for deployments, and the roles granted to developers. This allows platform engineers to enforce that 'Production' environments deploy to a different subscription with different permissions than 'Development' environments. The dev center holds global settings, the catalog contains templates, and the environment definition points to a template, but only the project environment type controls these specific deployment-targeting settings.
