Azure Policy checks Azure resources and operations by matching their properties against defined business rules. It helps to enforce organizational standards and to assess compliance at-scale. Azure Policy is commonly used to enforce governance across Azure, ensuring consistency, regulatory compliance, security controls, cost management, and operational standards. Unfortunately, Azure Policy has its secrets; it has some limitations that are either not documented or the documentation is not so easy to find. With this blog post, I am not trying to bash on Azure Policy as I love the service and I think its architecture is very good, but due to the way some Azure APIs are written it can limit what Azure Policy can do.
