AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Azure Policy Lab Activity

The video tutorial guides users through creating and managing Azure policies to enforce compliance. It covers logging into the Azure console, accessing the policy dashboard, creating policy definitions, and assigning initiatives. The tutorial demonstrates how to restrict virtual machine creation to specific regions and tests policy compliance by attempting to create a virtual machine in a non-compliant region. The process ensures that resources are deployed according to organizational regulations.

What is the primary purpose of Azure policies and initiatives as introduced in the video?

• To block the creation of virtual machines globally

• To enforce compliance with organizational requirements

• To increase the speed of virtual machine deployment

• To enhance the user interface of Azure

When creating a policy definition, what is the significance of selecting an inbuilt policy definition?

• It automatically applies to all Azure resources

• It allows for unlimited resource creation

• It disables all other policies

• It provides a template for specific compliance requirements

What is the main goal of assigning an initiative to a policy definition?

• To increase storage capacity

• To delete existing policies

• To link multiple policy definitions for a common purpose

• To create new Azure resources

During the testing phase, what happens if a virtual machine is created in a non-compliant region?

• The virtual machine is created with limited features

• The virtual machine is created but not visible

• The creation process is completed successfully

• The creation process fails due to policy enforcement

What does the validation process confirm in the context of Azure policies?

• That the virtual machine is created in any region

• That the user has administrative rights

• That the policy is correctly implemented and enforced

• That the Azure portal is functioning properly

How does the policy ensure compliance when creating virtual machines?

• By allowing creation only in specified compliant regions

• By increasing the number of virtual machines

• By providing discounts for compliant regions

• By automatically encrypting all data

What is the outcome when a virtual machine creation passes validation?

• The virtual machine is not created

• The user receives an error message

• The virtual machine is created successfully

• The policy is disabled
