Change the way you deploy your Infrastructure as Code to achieve better lifecycle management and optionally deny assignments!

How I loved this video.... THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! Let's keep on it!

[@flavb83music]

Your courses are fantastic. Thanks.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very kind, thank you!

[@TrueBoyStory]

Awesome as always, I love they way you always start with "why" and "what was imperfect so far"! I've already shared with my colleagues. John thanks you all you're doing here. Cheers!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@getshifting]

Thank you for your videos. I would like to add an advice on using deployment stacks. I came across various issues while testing deployments, especially on removing things like RBAC assignments and one time on removing classic defender on a storage account when from a higher level the new defender settings were pushed. So the advice would be to wait with switching to deployment stacks until you know your bicep deployments are good to go. I had to delete stacks and then redeploy them to overcome these issues.

[@steveng.42]

Fantastic, thank you sir! Been looking forward to digging into this to replace Blueprints, so definitely appreciate the deeper dive as always!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very welcome!

[@LIWUP-Proton]

Interesting topic John. Thanks for taking the time to present it so clearly.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@iamdedlok]

Sir John, this was fantastic. We are building a new app and that requires a dev, test, sandbox, staging and prod environments! The deployment stack would really make provisioning and the deleting unneeded environment super quick! Love the control over the RBAX permissions! Also the ability to link multiple templates to one stack is super useful. 🎉 Thanks for walking us through this.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very welcome

[@Dikimkd]

Enjoyed this a lot. Keep up the good work!!! 😍

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@das7672]

very cool presentation 👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you 👍

[@xxharjaa]

Thanks John, very useful information. What will happen if delete stack in the mg level with delete-all parameter, will it delete also subscriptions?

[@NTFAQGuy]

No, subscriptions are not deleted.

[@DerekBMoore]

hey John, how cool would it be to take an mg/sub/rg's that already exist and make a nice manageable stack out of it!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yep as I said in the video you can absolutely do that.

[@johnaashmore]

I read "deployment snacks". This diet is taking its toll.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Hahahahahaha. I can relate

[@fumadordemakoncha]

The problem here is what-if is still not supported :/...
