DevOps has improved the speed of software development, but organizations still face the challenge of providing an efficient and secure infrastructure for teams while balancing agility, security, and compliance. To address this, Azure Deployment Environments is a new service that provides a way to quickly spin up app environments while maximizing security, compliance, and cost-efficiency. It perfectly fits within the upcoming self-service platform engineering approach.

By defining environment types, platform engineers can make it easy for developers to deploy environments with the right services, resources, and policies applied. Azure Deployment Environments integrates nicely with CI/CD tooling, ensuring a smooth transition from development to production.

But where do developers craft their apps? How do we onboard new engineers quickly? Under the same umbrella as Deployment Environments, Azure Dev Box offers a streamlined development experience by providing developers with pre-configured environments tailored to their needs. This tool ensures consistency across development environments and facilitates collaboration among team members.

This session will provide a demonstration of the features and setup of Azure Deployment Environments, including integration with Azure Dev Box and CI/CD pipelines, showcasing how these tools collectively enhance software delivery efficiency and security.
