AZ104-Q: standardize an existing portal deployment
An administrator created a working VM configuration through the portal and must reproduce it consistently in a second environment. What is the best next step?
- A) Take screenshots of every portal blade.
- B) Export or capture the deployment as an ARM template, convert/refine it into Bicep as appropriate, parameterize environment differences, and deploy through ARM. ✓
- C) Give every operator Owner access and ask them to rebuild it.
- D) Copy the VM disk manually to every region.
Answer: B. Infrastructure as code makes the configuration reviewable, parameterized, repeatable, and deployable through Azure Resource Manager.
Why not the others: Screenshots and manual recreation are not reliable automation. Broad Owner and disk copying do not reproduce the full desired configuration.
