AZ-900 Lesson 14 – Governance Tools

Описание: AZ-900 Lesson 14 – Governance Tools: Management Groups, Policy, Blueprints, Tags

In this lesson of the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals series, we continue the Management, Governance & Security playlist by focusing on governance tools in Azure.

We cover:
The Azure governance hierarchy (management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, resources)
Tags for organization, reporting, and cost allocation
Azure Policy for enforcing rules and assessing compliance
Azure Blueprints for deploying standardized, governed environments

In this video, you will learn:
How management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources fit together in the Azure hierarchy
How tags (key-value pairs) help you classify resources by environment, department, cost center, owner, and more
How Azure Policy uses policy definitions, initiatives, and effects (Deny, Audit, Append, DeployIfNotExists) to keep your environment compliant with standards
How Azure Blueprints can bundle policies, role assignments, and templates to roll out consistent environments across subscriptions

We also walk through a governance-at-scale example where:
Management groups apply shared policies and RBAC to multiple subscriptions
Blueprints deploy standard resource group structures and baseline policies
Tags are required on all resources to support Azure Cost Management and reporting

And we connect everything to AZ-900 exam scenarios:
“Organize and govern multiple subscriptions together” → Management groups
“Group related resources by lifecycle” → Resource groups
“Classify resources by department or environment for cost reporting” → Tags
“Enforce allowed locations, required tags, or security rules” → Azure Policy
“Deploy standardized, governed environments repeatedly” → Azure Blueprints

This lesson is:
Exam-oriented, aligned with the AZ-900 objectives around governance and compliance
Beginner-friendly, using clear explanations and simple examples
Practical, showing how governance tools are used in real organizations

🔹 After watching this video, you will be able to:
Describe the Azure governance hierarchy and where to apply policies
Explain how tags, policies, and blueprints support governance at scale
Map typical governance requirements to the correct Azure features in AZ-900 questions

👉 This video is part of a complete AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals playlist, designed to help you pass the certification with confidence using pragmatic, no-fluff lessons.
