- How to define and enforce governance rules using Bicep templates
- Leveraging GitHub Copilot to accelerate template creation, reduce errors, and follow best practices
- Real-world examples of automating governance at scale across subscriptions and management groups
- Tips for integrating governance into your CI/CD workflows

This session is designed for early-career cloud engineers and architects looking to build confidence in managing Azure environments with automation and AI-assisted development.

Let’s make governance not just a requirement, but a competitive advantage.
