    AZ-305 · Question 13 · Domain 1.3: Governance

    You are designing an Azure Landing Zone architecture for a multinational corporation. The company uses a 'Subscription Vending Machine' process to automatically provision new subscriptions for application teams.

    The security team requires that every new subscription automatically has Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled, specific Azure Policies assigned, and a standard VNet deployed and peered to the central Hub VNet.

    Which Azure native approach provides the most scalable and declarative way to achieve this during the subscription creation process?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Azure Blueprints

    B.

    Azure Bicep with Management Group scope deployments.

    C.

    Azure Automation Runbooks triggered by an Event Grid subscription.

    D.

    Azure Policy with 'DeployIfNotExists' effects for the VNet peering.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the modern, recommended Infrastructure-as-Code tool for Azure Landing Zones. Note that Blueprints are deprecated.

    Full Answer

    B.Azure Bicep with Management Group scope deployments.✓ Correct
    For enterprise-scale Landing Zones and subscription vending, Microsoft recommends using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Azure Bicep or Terraform. Bicep supports deploying resources at various scopes, including Tenant, Management Group, and Subscription levels. This allows you to declaratively define the subscription, move it to the correct Management Group (which inherits Policies), and deploy the required networking components in a single, repeatable pipeline. Azure Blueprints is deprecated.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Azure Blueprints. While it historically did exactly this, it is now deprecated and not the correct answer for modern AZ-305 designs.
