Azure Policy - ANSWER Azure Policy is an Azure service you use to create, assign
and, manage policies. These policies enforce different rules and effects over your
resources so that those resources stay compliant with your corporate standards and
service level agreements. Azure Policy meets this need by evaluating your resources
for noncompliance with assigned policies. For example, you might have a policy that
allows virtual machines of only a certain size in your environment. After this policy is
implemented, new and existing resources are evaluated for compliance. With the right
type of policy, existing resources can be brought into compliance.
What is a policy definition? - ANSWER A policy definition expresses what to evaluate
and what action to take. For example, you could ensure all public websites are secured
with HTTPS, prevent a particular storage type from being created, or force a specific
version of SQL Server to be used.
Defining initiatives - ANSWER Initiative definitions simplify the process of managing and
assigning policy definitions by grouping a set of policies into a single item. For example,
you could create an initiative named Enable Monitoring in Azure Security Center, with a
goal to monitor all the available security recommendations in your Azure Security
Center.
Azure Blueprints - ANSWER Azure Blueprints enables cloud architects and central
information technology groups to define a repeatable set of Azure resources that
implements and adheres to an organization's standards, patterns, and requirements.
Azure Blueprints makes it possible for development teams to rapidly build and deploy
new environments with the trust they're building within organizational compliance using
a set of built-in components, such as networking, to speed up development and
delivery.
How blueprints are different from Azure Policy - ANSWER A blueprint is a package or
container for composing focus-specific sets of standards, patterns, and requirements
related to the implementation of Azure cloud services, security, and design that can be
reused to maintain consistency and compliance.
What is the Service Trust Portal? - ANSWER The Service Trust Portal (STP) hosts the
Compliance Manager service, and is the Microsoft public site for publishing audit reports
and other compliance-related information relevant to Microsoft's cloud services. STP
users can download audit reports produced by external auditors and gain insight from
Microsoft-authored reports that provide details on how Microsoft builds and operates its
cloud services.
