One of the most educational videos I have ever seen, without a doubt I learned more from this video that I can ever learn from any of the Microsoft documents as you show the why, what, where and when reasons to do what is done, Thanks!
Thank you for the nice comments and the feedback! Please continue to share The Azure Academy with other! Is there anything you would like us to create a video on?
Many thanks Dean for these high quality Azure Videos. HOWEVER, I feel compelled to give you my opinion on the style and delivery of this very valuable information. * If this is an OFFICIAL Microsoft channel then the Video is considered to be in the right format of presenting a new technical feature! * If you are presenting this kind of Video to an advanced Azure Skilled engineers, I suggest you start adding Skills levels on the title of your videos Such as ADVANCED, INTERMEDIATE or BEGINNER * If you are presenting these Videos as educational materials, more explanation of the concepts in graphical format will go a long way so we can learn azure better and implement them in our business. * Your voice delivery is almost a recorded narration that is speeded to 1.2 of the normal speed and audiences like me start loose interest as we get lost in the bombardment of information (Pausing the Video did not seem to help) I think your Channel is one of the Best Azure channels on RUclips but will greatly enhance your audience learning if you can slow down a bit and explain things pictorially something like using Microsoft paint for sketching the concept or easy power point slides. Thank you for all your efforts
Thank you for the feedback/constructive criticism. I like the idea of skill levels but I am not sure yet how I will implement this...it will take some thought. Part of the concept is in the naming of the videos. #1, #2 #3 etc... The concepts to generally build upon each other, however RUclips as a platform does limit the ability to link them together in another way besides playlists and cards. vs. Pluralsight, which you can create courses that follow a specific flow. The benefit of youtube is that it is free for all and everyone can learn...but you have a good point here. I also like the feedback on visual presentation of information with something like a whiteboard. I have tried to so this through animations, which I think are visually more interesting then a whiteboard, but there are certainly advantages either way. Powerpoint however is something I do not care for, specifically because of the "death by powerpoint" that people are so used to experiencing. This is also why I don't appear on camera. I want the focus to be in the Azure portal and on getting things done... but thank you Abu for your feedback...and I will try to talk slower, or explain concepts more as I go. #HappyLearning
@@AzureAcademy Many thanks Dean for taking the time to read and reply to my Comments. I feel you put a lot of efforts in making these videos and I do wish you to succeed in delivery the benefits you are trying to achieve. Best wishes.
Thanks Rana! It depends on how you want to modify it, but if you need to change the code you can export the Blueprint, modify it and push it back to your Azure Subscriptions. You can check out my other Blueprint video for the process here - ruclips.net/video/up0HdsM5HEU/видео.html As far as using the Blueprint across multiple subscriptions, it does this automatically, assuming that your user ID has access to those subscriptions.
Great question Hendi! Yes, you can use it in any environment you want and even use different settings in each environment, depending on how you are set up
Hi Dean - I get the following error after the deployment. I guess there is some issue when you give the object id of the user to grant permissions in Key Vault. Vault name must be between 3-24 alphanumeric characters. The name must begin with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and not contain consecutive hyphens. Any suggestions?
Key vault names must be globally unique. If the name you have chosen is in use already you would get a failure because you can’t assign user rights to a vault you don’t own
Hello Dean, thanks for the wonderful video, I have successfully assigned CAF Foundation blueprints but getting error in CAF Migrate blueprint, below is the error: The artifact 'artifact-template-azuremigrate--deploy' of type 'Template' failed to deploy due to the following error: The template deployment failed because of policy violation - 'deny' Policy action. I deny Microsoft.ClassicStorage Can you please suggest me to achieve this. Thanks in advance.
@@AzureAcademy thanks for the quick reply. Updated CAF Foundation blueprint to not deny anything and assigned CAF Foundation blueprint, it was successful. But when assigning CAF Migrate blueprint getting same error, 'deny' Policy action. Is it anything related to my permissions or blueprints?
Hi Dean, Apart from following your weekly new episode, I am also learning your previous videos, like this Blueprint series. I have a question, I don't quite understand the purpose of building a Key Vault in these 2 CAF Blueprints, I carefully read the doc but still do not get it. From my understanding, it's not used for creating VMs right? It can be used later when the VM wants to access the key/secret/certificated in that Key Vault. Quote from MS Doc: "An Azure Key Vault instance used to host secrets used for the VMs deployed in the shared services environment" docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/blueprints/samples/caf-foundation/ Thanks
Great question! Part of Governance is to setup the cloud for success. KeyVault is how you can securely manage your credentials & secrets. This is high recommended in everything from VM builds...which need passwords and those passwords can be stored in keyvault. to creating SAS Tokens and disk encryption and more.

Thank you Dean, another great knowledge transfer session!
Thanks Len!
Thanks. It's really helpful to see the deployment steps of the Blueprints on the Portal.
👍😁👍

Is there anything you would like us to create a video on?
Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video.
Thanks Kirby! Please let me know other video topics you are interested in that we can create for you.

* If this is an OFFICIAL Microsoft channel then the Video is considered to be in the right format of presenting a new technical feature!
* If you are presenting this kind of Video to an advanced Azure Skilled engineers, I suggest you start adding Skills levels on the title of your videos Such as ADVANCED, INTERMEDIATE or BEGINNER
* If you are presenting these Videos as educational materials, more explanation of the concepts in graphical format will go a long way so we can learn azure better and implement them in our business.
* Your voice delivery is almost a recorded narration that is speeded to 1.2 of the normal speed and audiences like me start loose interest as we get lost in the bombardment of information (Pausing the Video did not seem to help)

Excellent Video.. Thank You
Anytime, and thanks for watching!
I was looking for how to build an actual landing zone for a real helicopter out in the bush and this tech video got recommended to me lol...
if you liked that, you will love the updated version of this here 👉ruclips.net/video/9BKgz9Rl1eo/видео.html
Thank you ❤
Anytime
Awesome video. How do we modify the blueprint? Like for different naming conventions or adding additional subscriptions

Anytime!
Great!
👍👍
Thank you for the video! I have a question, can we have caf for creating an isolated environment let say for Dev, QA and prod?
Great question Hendi! Yes, you can use it in any environment you want and even use different settings in each environment, depending on how you are set up
I see that Azure Blueprints will be deprecated in 2026, what is replacing it
I believe template specs
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/template-specs?darkschemeovr=1&tabs=azure-powershell
What’s the best way to migrate small infrastructure onprimise to azure?
Azure Migrate

Edit the blueprint to use Microsoft.Storage instead

Worked!, thanks
Awesome!
What was the fix?
HAVE THE city of Chicago use CAF?
I don’t know…but you can help them do it! ☺️
