    AZ-305 · Question 17 · Domain 1.3: Design Governance

    Your organization is adopting an Azure Landing Zone architecture.

    You need to design a process for 'subscription vending'—rapidly provisioning new Azure subscriptions for application teams. Each new subscription must automatically have standard networking (VNet peering to a hub), security center standard tier enabled, and baseline RBAC roles assigned.

    Which approach provides the most scalable and repeatable solution?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Manually create the subscription in the Azure Portal and run a PowerShell script.

    B.

    Deploy an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or Bicep template via Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions.

    C.

    Use Azure Migrate to provision the subscriptions.

    D.

    Create a custom Azure Policy to deploy the subscription.

    How to approach this question

    Enterprise scale requires automation. Look for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines.

    Full Answer

    B.Deploy an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or Bicep template via Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions.✓ Correct
    In an Enterprise-Scale Landing Zone architecture, 'subscription vending' should be fully automated using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Using ARM templates, Bicep, or Terraform integrated into a CI/CD pipeline (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions) allows you to programmatically create the subscription (using the Subscription Alias API) and deploy all baseline configurations (networking, RBAC, security) consistently and at scale.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking Azure Policy can create subscriptions. Policy governs resources within scopes; it doesn't create the top-level billing scopes.
