azure-policy

You can deploy Azure Policy definitions, initiatives, and parameters using ARM, Bicep, or Terraform workflows. This approach applies infrastructure-as-code best practices to enforce secure and compliant resource deployments across your Azure subscriptions.

Migrating from DSC, Automanage, or DSC extensions to Azure Policy and Machine Configuration requires mapping existing desired state definitions to the new policy structure. This provides unified compliance remediation and continuous monitoring across your Azure infrastructure.

You can query Azure Policy compliance data via Azure Resource Graph and map the results to CIS, NIST, or ISO frameworks. This identifies configuration gaps across subscriptions and generates baseline compliance reports for regulatory standards.

Azure Policy deployment failures often stem from incorrect policy definitions, parameter mismatches, or assignment scope errors. Troubleshooting requires analyzing the compliance state via Resource Graph and validating the ARM or Bicep template syntax against Microsoft Docs.

Azure Policy supports automated remediation for non-compliant resources by deploying machine configuration policies. This enforces baseline settings across subscriptions and corrects drift by triggering remediation tasks directly through policy assignments.

Azure Policy is a compliance service used to evaluate and enforce resource configuration rules across Azure subscriptions. It secures deployments by auditing resources against defined standards and remediating machine configuration gaps to maintain regulatory compliance.
