Azure Policy

Azure Policy helps to enforce organizational standards and assess compliance at-scale. You can bring your resources into compliance through remediation for existing resources and automatic remediation for new resources. Azure Policy includes built-in policy definitions and policy initiatives. You can also create custom policy definitions for your Azure environment.
