Custom policy export feature on portal.

Question

Hi , so I am trying find out if the EXPORT POLICY feature that used to be available on the Azure portal was removed? I have use it a while back but I don't see that option on there any more .

Answer 1

Hi

You can use Visual Studio Code for this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-code

Once you are logged into your Azure Subscription in VS code and MS Azure Policy extension is installed in VS Code, you can view all the policy definitions and assignments in VS code.

Save all the needed policy as json files in your local directory with save as option and then connect to Github through VS Code- Source Control.

You can use either VS UI or bash to push all the policy json files to any of your Github repository.

You can find more information on Github and VS code integration online.

Hello Maduka, Chibueze F,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

Problem

I understand that you are trying to find out if the EXPORT POLICY feature that used to be available on the Azure portal was removed.

Solution

Sure, the "Export definitions" feature in Azure Policy was recently removed.

It's no longer available through the portal. However, you can still export policies using the SDK. For more details, check out the updated documentation on Export Azure Policy resources via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/policy/how-to/export-resources
