This document discusses combining Azure, Power Platform, and Microsoft Teams to deliver an enhanced user experience. It describes using Azure Blueprints to define repeatable resource deployments, a custom connector for the Azure Blueprints REST API, and Adaptive Cards in a Power App and Teams flow to automate a request and approval process. Key aspects covered include using Resource Manager templates in Blueprints, assigning policies, and the roadmap for using Adaptive Cards without coding in Power Virtual Agent.
