Summary
In this chapter, we covered the techniques and technologies used for automating the deployment and management of data mesh landing zones. We saw how to standardize the deployments using the ARM templates and then how to automate the deployment and testing of the deployments using Azure DevOps.

Or fill out a form (typically a Microsoft Excel template). Or the data mesh team hosts a centralized portal where teams can fill out this form and submit a request. The last option of submitting a request through a central portal is the most convenient way. This central portal can also serve many other purposes and make it very easy for the data product teams, and data mesh IT Ops teams to work together efficiently.
