There are some real advantages in the implementation by a DevOps operating model. This includes:

• Deploy and manage multi-tenant environments at scale and staging process
• Compare configurations between staging or multi-tenant environments
• Using standardized configuration or policy sets as default templates for new Azure AD tenants

• Technical documentation by “Policy As Code”
• Continuous improvement by analyzing telemetry from audit and sign-in logs to improve coverage and efficiency
