Microsoft Azure Architect Design (2020, legacy) — Question 55

You plan to automate the deployment of resources to Azure subscriptions.
What is a difference between using Azure Blueprints and Azure Resource Manager templates?

Answer options

• A. Azure Resource Manager templates remain connected to the deployed resources.
• B. Only Azure Resource Manager templates can contain policy definitions.
• C. Azure Blueprints remain connected to the deployed resources.
• D. Only Azure Blueprints can contain policy definitions.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Azure Blueprints maintain a connection to the deployed resources, allowing for easier management and updates. In contrast, Azure Resource Manager templates do not maintain this connection after deployment, which is why option A is incorrect. Options B and D are also incorrect because both Azure Blueprints and Azure Resource Manager templates can contain policy definitions.
