A managed service provider (MSP) provisions identical application stacks for many customers. Each stack includes a virtual network, two VMs, and a load balancer. The MSP wants to reduce provisioning time and ensure consistency across customers. Which solution should they implement?

Create a golden VM image and manually deploy it for each customer.

Write a script that copies the same configuration files to each customer's existing environment.

Use Azure Site Recovery to replicate a reference environment to each customer.

Use a single ARM template with parameters for customer-specific values and deploy it via automation.

An organization has a policy to decommission resources that are no longer needed to reduce costs. They have many unused test environments. What is the most efficient way to identify and remove these environments?

Use Azure Advisor to identify idle resources and manually delete them.

Manually review each environment and delete it if unused.

Keep all environments running to avoid disrupting developers.

Use a script that tags environments with an owner and expiration date, then automatically deletes them after the date.

A company runs a multi-tier web application in Azure. The operations team wants to provision a new environment for each feature branch automatically when a developer pushes code. The environment must include a web app, a database, and a load balancer, and it must be removed when the branch is merged and deleted. Which approach best meets the requirement?

Manually create the environment using the Azure portal and ask developers to delete it after merging.

Create a runbook in Azure Automation that provisions resources via Azure CLI and schedule it to run nightly.

Provision a single shared environment and use feature flags to toggle features for each branch.

Use a CI/CD pipeline that triggers on branch creation and deletion, deploying an ARM template for the environment and deleting the resource group on branch removal.

A company uses Azure DevOps to manage their CI/CD pipelines. They want to automate the provisioning of a new environment for each release candidate. Which tool should they integrate into their pipeline?
