Azure Deployment Environments Preview
Quickly spin up app infrastructure environments with project-based templates
Deploy the right environment for any stage of development
Quickly spin up environments tailored to the current stage of development with project-based templates. Support collaboration and innovation on development teams with consistent environments and best practises. and encourage experimentation while maximising security, compliance, and cost efficiency.
Templatised environments enable devs to deploy from a customised portal, the CLI, or continuous integration pipelines
Standardised templates make it easy to promote InnerSource and share best practises, tips, and tricks across teams
Environment types preconfigured by admins limit dev control over environments based on the current stage of development
Comprehensive management capabilities help organisations track Azure resources across dev centres and projects
Minimise configuration effort
Deploy the right environment at the right time without worrying about backend processes. Tailor environments to specific projects with a template catalogue and choose a deployment environment option based on your organisation’s identities and Azure subscriptions. Deploy directly from where you work—including the code repository, the CLI, or a customised portal.
Maximise security with centralised control
Configure unique permissions to ramp up protections for pre-production and production environments, and support experimentation in dev/test and sandbox environments. Track resource usage across teams to avoid unnecessary risks or charges.
Remove barriers to collaboration
Support innovation and collaboration through standardised environments. Streamline cross-team workflows by ensuring that dev teams are always working in the same environment while allowing iteration and sharing of best practises. Deploy environments from templates defined by development stage as part of a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline or deploy on-demand and sandboxes to work on proof of concepts.
