Platform automation #

The ability to make changes at scale through a prescribed automated process provides direct benefits to the organization’s ability to expand beyond the baseline configuration, which comes from security, governance, and management.

Platform automation is directly applicable to the outcomes associated with implementing a landing zone, and supports the concept of building repeatable, scalable environments.

Automation focuses on tools and techniques that enable the streamlining of automation tasks for Azure Landing Zone development, deployment, provisioning, and operations using automation tools such as Azure DevOps Services or GitHub.
