Question

Difficulty: EasyAzure Policy

Determine if the following statement is true or false: If you assign an Azure Policy definition to an Azure resource group, any existing resources within that group that do not comply with the policy are automatically deleted.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false because Azure Policy evaluates existing resources for compliance and flags them as non-compliant rather than deleting them.
The correct answer is false because Azure Policy only flags existing non-compliant resources in compliance reports rather than deleting them.

To understand how the policy affects both new and existing resources.
2
Determine the impact of Azure Policy on existing resources that do not comply.
