“You built it, you run it.” It’s a wonderful statement, but what is “it”, and where does “it” end? Many applications have dependencies to other applications that are run by other teams or departments and they often depend on a platform that is built and run by a platform team. Azure Deployment Stacks with Deny Assignments establishes clear ownership when used right and allows for more granular delegations. In short, more freedom for application teams without risking conflicts or friction with neighboring teams.
