Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 442 discussion

Got this question today - 12 Jan 2024 !

correct answer is ARM. NOT POLICY

The key word in here is "deploy". If the list provided only ARM can deploy. Remember: Jason (JSON) used his ARM to DEPLOY the weapon and catch the criminal ;-) * Azure Policies do not deploy anything at all. It is a service within Microsoft Azure that allows organizations to create, assign, and manage policies. It is used to govern every existing or future resource deployed but does not deploy them * A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you want to manage as a group. We can deploy TO a resource group, but a resource group does not deploy in itself. * Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is an Azure service you can use to manage and deploy resources using an infrastructure as code paradigm. * Azure Management Groups provide a way to efficiently manage access, policies, and compliance across multiple Azure Subscriptions.They do not deploy anything

I think because of "deploy" I will go for ARM Templates too. On question 189 that was also the answer and it was also very divided amongst people. A Policy does not deploy anything, it just allows to create resources which must been certain options.

Same as question 189. https://www.examtopics.com/exams/microsoft/az-900/view/19/ Correct answer is ARM.

Azure policies seem the right answer. ARM templates is another option to consider. Though a difference make a wording of the Q: 1) ... deploy objects in a cloud infrastructure ... so it's about Azure Policy, since it deploys objects. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/policy/overview 2) though ARM templates provision infrastructure. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/overview

AZURE policies

Azure policies provide a common platform for deploying objects to a cloud infrastructure and for implementing consistency across the Azure environment.
