Efficient and Secure Software Delivery with Azure Deployment Environments

DevOps has improved the speed of software development, but organizations still face the challenge of providing an efficient and secure infrastructure for teams while balancing agility, security, and compliance. To address this, Azure Deployment Environments is a new service that provides project-based templates to quickly spin up app infrastructure while maximizing security, compliance, and cost-efficiency. By defining environment types, organizations can make it easy for developers to deploy environments with the right services, resources, and policies applied. Azure Deployment Environments integrates with established CI/CD pipelines, making it easy to see how code changes impact app performance. This session will provide a demo of the features and setup of Azure Deployment Environments.
