Security Center / Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Dear Community,

I would like to deploy a Security Center / Microsoft Defender for Cloud resource in my DevOps pipeline using a bicep template.

Unfortunately, I can't find a simple base template for this resource. The templates I have found already have logics built in (like LogicApps, Eventhubs or Workspaces including Alerts etc) but I would like to have the base template so I can customize it.

I'm still very new to the IaC world and it hasn't worked out well yet to create my own Security Center resource template without any errors.

Could someone please help me in this regard?

Thank you very much for your support!
Best regards

    Defender for Cloud is part of every subscription. You can activate resources in Azure for MDFC monitoring but there is no option to deploy MDFC itself. Activating Azure resources for MDFC is usually performed by a policy. Often that policy is set at the root subscription. The result of that policy is often seen at the local resource as an extension. I assume you could manage the policy as a template.

    Unless I am missing something here. I don't work with DevOps myself. Can you share a sample of what you have seen so far?
