Azure Blueprints

Azure Blueprints is much the same as we can think of blueprints outside of a technology discussion; it provides patterns, designs, and definitions for creating something. We can think of this along the lines of a blueprint for a house, a car, a space rocket, and so on; an Azure blueprint is no different from this concept.

An Azure blueprint is a package or representation of a collection of defined, prescribed, repeatable resources to be deployed that conform to an organization's governance standards and patterns when implemented. This allows governance and design parameters to be defined that rapidly allow teams to repeatedly stand up projects and initiatives within the blueprint's control.

Azure blueprints can be created through the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, the Azure CLI, ARM templates, or the REST API; blueprint definitions are saved to a management group or subscription, which requires contributor access.
