Question 6

• Manage your infrastructure through declarative templates rather than scripts.
• Deploy, manage, and monitor all the resources for your solution as a group, rather than handling these resources individually.
• Redeploy your solution throughout the development lifecycle and have confidence your resources are deployed in a consistent state.
• Define the dependencies between resources so they’re deployed in the correct order.
• Apply access control to all services in your resource group because Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is natively integrated into the management platform.
• Apply tags to resources to logically organize all the resources in your subscription.
• Clarify your organization’s billing by viewing costs for a group of resources sharing the same tag.
