Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Policy

An Azure Policy assignment configured with the Audit effect will block the deployment of new resources that do not comply with the policy standards. Is this statement true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because the Audit effect in Azure Policy is designed to report on non-compliant resources by logging a warning in the activity log and marking them in the compliance dashboard, without actively preventing or blocking the deployment of the resource.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the action of the Audit effect in Azure Policy.
The Audit effect evaluates resources and reports non-compliance without blocking or modifying resource creation or configuration.
This helps administrators gain visibility into resource compliance without disrupting developer workflows.
2
Determine if the Audit effect blocks deployments.
It does not block deployments; non-compliant resources are successfully created but flagged as non-compliant.
Only the Deny effect blocks the deployment of non-compliant resources.
