In this lesson, we'll explore the purpose of Azure Policy and how it helps you ensure your resources stay compliant with corporate standards. Azure Policy is a service in Azure that enables you to create, assign, and manage policies that control or audit your resources, enforcing rules to maintain compliance across your resource configurations.

Azure Policy allows you to define both individual policies and groups of related policies, known as initiatives. These policies evaluate your resources, highlight noncompliant resources, and can even prevent noncompliant resources from being created in the first place.
Key Features of Azure Policy:
Azure Policy and Azure DevOps
Azure Policy integrates seamlessly with Azure DevOps, applying policies relevant to the pre-deployment and post-deployment phases of your applications. This integration ensures continuous compliance throughout the development lifecycle.

Example of an Azure Policy Initiative:
