What Azure feature can help stay organized and track usage based on metadata associated with resources?

What is Microsoft Purview?

A family of data governance, risk, and compliance solutions that helps one get a single, unified view into ones data. Brings insights about on-premises, multicloud, and software-as-a-service data together.

What is IaaC(Infrastucture as a code)?

A concept where one manages the infrastructure as lines of code. One can manage entire deployments using repeatable templates and configurations. ARM templates(declaritive JSON format) and Bicep(a language that uses declaritive syntax) are two examples of using infrastructure as code with the Azure Resource Manager to maintain an environment.
27

What service helps you manage your Azure, on-premises, and multicloud environments?

Azure Arc
28

What two components could you use to implement a “infrastructure as code” deployment?

Bicep and ARM templates
