AZ468076 - Public Preview: New features enhance developer experience, customizations, and security in Azure Deployment Environments

New features in Azure Deployment Environments further expand developer access to app infrastructure and give platform engineers even more effective tools for customizing and securing enterprise deployments.   

• Enhanced integration with Azure Developer CLI (azd) now supports the extensibility model in Azure Deployment Environments: Developers can easily use environment templates in any Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) framework of their choice and leverage intuitive azd commands to deploy their code onto that infrastructure. (Preview)  
• Force-deletion support: Developers and project admins can now force-delete an environment when the environment is in a failed state or the backing IaC template is no longer available. (Preview)  
• Support for pre-and post-deployment customization and delete scripts: Platform engineers and dev teams can now configure their environment definitions to invoke custom scripts before or after deployment, along with delete scripts that execute alongside the environment deployments, unlocking new use cases. (Preview)  
• Private networks for runner: Platform engineers can configure a private network for a compute runner when performing environment deployments, enabling them to control the runner’s network connectivity, using firewall rules, for example, when interacting with internal systems and data.
