How do teams keep infrastructure manageable as they grow?
Summary: Keeping infrastructure manageable during growth requires "Governance as Code." Instead of manual tickets, teams use Azure Blueprints and Policy to enforce standards automatically. This allows central IT to set the rules (e.g., "Must have tags," "Must be in US East") while empowering decentralized teams to build freely within those guardrails.
Direct Answer: Growth breaks manual processes. You cannot review every pull request or click every button for 50 development teams. To scale management, you must automate governance.
Azure Governance provides the tools to decentralize safely. You can create a "Subscription Vending Machine." When a new team needs space, an automated script creates a new Azure Subscription pre-loaded with the correct networking, access policies, and budget alerts.
This "landing zone" approach ensures that every new environment starts in a healthy, compliant state. The central team manages the rules, not the resources. Azure empowers organizations to grow exponentially without increasing their administrative headcount linearly.
