Explore Blueprints

Note: deploying a blueprint may create resources, and interfere with your existing subscription setup. For exploration: use an empty subscription.

In the Azure Portal:

Search for 'Blueprints'
Click 'Create'
Select CAF Blueprint (Cloud Adoption Framework)
Give a 'Name' and a 'Definition location' (select your Management Group or Subscription)
(optional: Customize you Blueprint)
Publish your Blueprint
(optional: Assign your Blueprint to your subscription)

(register resource provider 'Microsoft/Blueprint' for your target subscription)
Get the Azure Powershell Blueprint module if needed: Install-Module -Name Az.Blueprint
Get the names of your Blueprints: get-azblueprint | select name
Get Blueprint object, e.g.: $bp = get-azblueprint -managementgroupid [yourMgmtGrpId] -name [yourBpName]
Get Blueprint artifacts, e.g.: get-azblueprintartifact
Export Blueprint artifacts export-azblueprintwithartifact -Blueprint $bp -OutputPath c:/temp/bp
Review the files in the resulting folder structure
Add your Blueprint to source control
Adapt to your companies requirements / policy-mapping / taste; import and assign
