Publishing and Assigning Azure Blueprint

The Blueprint has now been saved as a draft and is prepared for publication and assignment to a subscription to be deployed. To publish and assign the Azure blueprint, follow these steps:

Step 1. The blueprint must first be published. This removes it from the draft stage, implying that we can no longer make changes to this blueprint.

Step 2. Find and access your blueprint by using the Blueprints Definitions menu.

Step 3. Next, select Publish Blueprint and give it a version number.

Step 4. To make the Blueprint published and available for assignment, click Publish.

Step 5. The published blueprint can now be linked to a subscription. Go back to the blueprint by selecting it from the Blueprint Definitions menu.

Step 6. Assign the Blueprint by right-clicking on the blueprint.

Step 7. To allocate the blueprint, select the desired subscription.

Step 8. Following that, enter a name for the assignment.

Step 9. Choose a location where the managed identity deployment will take place and where the deployment of the blueprint will take place.

Step 10. Select the blueprint’s required assignment’s published version. which is needed to be assigned. 

Step 11. set ‘Don’t Lock’ as the lock set.

Step 12. The artifacts’ parameter values will now be filled in in the following step. Some of them require input from the user, such as the name of a resource group, the identity of a user assignment, or other values.

Once click on the Assign button, the blueprint will be assigned and will begin deploying the artifacts to the subscription.

The Allocated Blueprints menu now displays the blueprint’s status once it has been assigned. Details on the assignment, such as how the deployment is going, may be seen here. The blueprint’s update and unassign options are also available here.

The resources will then be deployed, capping up the deployment process.

So far, it can be said that Azure Blueprints are an excellent tool for connecting deployments to deployment artifacts. This makes it simple to keep track of what is deployed, what version of the deployment scripts was used and to properly manage the deployment and artifact lifecycle.
