The official repository of Azure Policy built-in policy definitions and samples, maintained by Microsoft. It serves as the source of truth for the policy definitions published to Azure, used for enforcing governance and compliance rules over Azure resources.
Use cases
- find built-in Azure Policy definitions for compliance
- write policy-as-code for Azure resources
- enforce governance rules on Azure subscriptions
- audit Azure resource configurations for compliance
- learn Azure Policy definition structure and effects
- contribute custom policy samples for Azure
When to choose
- you need the canonical source of Azure built-in policy definitions
- you are implementing policy-as-code workflows for Azure governance
- you want to audit or enforce compliance rules on Azure resources
- you need reference examples for writing Azure Policy definitions
When to avoid
- you need community-contributed policies rather than built-ins (use the Azure Community Policy repo)
- you are governing AWS or GCP resources rather than Azure
- you need a tool to run policy evaluation locally rather than definition sources
- you need to report a bug in a built-in definition (Azure Customer Support handles that)
