Hi, currently we have the basic Foundational CSPM MS Defender for Cloud plan enabled and also Defender CSPM. We would like to enable the Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) plan 2 for our Azure servers that costs around $15/Server/month. We have around 50 servers in our production subscription and would like to check if there is a way to configure this plan to include only a few of our critical severs for this plan and exclude the rest? Many thanks

Based on my research, you can try excluding specific resources by enabling the Defender for Servers plan at the resource level. Check out these documentations for more info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/tutorial-enable-servers-plan and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/plan-defender-for-servers-select-plan
