Why should you care?

Manual portal clicks do not scale and are hard to audit.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# Environment Promotion
# GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps: build → test → deploy
echo "Pipeline stage notes for Environment Promotion"

What happened?

• Write the stage order: restore, build, test, deploy, smoke test.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
2. Write the resource names you used.
3. Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
4. Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
5. Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain Environment Promotion simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

Your team applies environment promotion while building on Azure.

Outcome: A concrete portal/CLI next step exists.
