Does Azure policy supports external data?

Question

Hi,
I need to implement a policy that depends on external data available via RP, in other worlds, the decision whether the resource is compliant or not, depends on the relevant data in the RP(Azure Resource Graph for example)
is this model possible to implement via Azure policy?

Hello @Lana Salameh ,

In Azure Policy, evaluating compliance of a resouce is typically done against an expectation/condition native to the resource.
You might be able ot get this working If the (external) RP data/value is an ARM property with an alias.
