The new Draft &
Deploy feature for Azure Firewall Policy introduces a streamlined, two-phase
approach to managing firewall policies, significantly reducing deployment time
and disruption. Traditionally, any policy update would trigger a full deployment
of both the policy and the attached firewall, taking 2–4 minutes per change.
With Draft & Deploy, users can collaboratively make multiple changes in a draft version cloned from the current policy without affecting the live environment. Once finalized, all changes can be deployed at once, replacing the existing policy.
