Self service Azure Infrastructure with Azure Deployment Environments!

Have you ever just wanted to spin up some resources in Azure to test something, only to find out that you can't deploy the infrastructure you want due to security, or maybe you don't know where to start and you don't want to get stuck in the documentation rabbit hole? Maybe you're a Platform Engineer who tired of created the sample templates over and over again just to help developers with their testing, and you're thinking 'Surely there's an easier way to do this?'

Azure Deployment Environments help development teams spin up infrastructure using templates that are consistent and secure. Developers can deploy infrastructure defined in environment definitions without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. Platform Engineers create and manage environment definitions to ensure that developers can deploy infrastructure that follows best practice across numerous environments.

In this talk, I'll cover what Azure Deployment Environments are, what benefits they provide, and how we can use them to enable developers to deploy infrastructure to Azure quickly and safely. I'll also demo how we can add templates to our Azure Deployment Environment, and then consume them to provision Azure resources.
