Azure Policy as Code: Lessons from the Field

I built a fully automated Azure Policy deployment. This is everything I learned, including the parts I would rather not have.
We start with the structure and the building blocks. From there we go into Infrastructure as Code, and how you turn those building blocks into something that's actually yours: definitions, assignments, exemptions, all deployed and managed through code

You leave with a blueprint for your own landing zone, and the decisions to make before you write a line of it, because there are some issues you might not have seen coming
