Exercise - Restrict deployments to a specific location by using Azure Policy

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/build-cloud-governance-strategy-azure/7-restrict-location-azure-policy

In this exercise, you create a policy in Azure Policy that restricts the deployment of Azure resources to a specific location. You verify the policy by attempting to create a storage account in a location that violates the policy.

Tailwind Traders wants to limit the location where resources can be deployed to the East US region.

It has two reasons:

  • Improved cost tracking
    To track costs, Tailwind Traders uses different subscriptions to track deployments to each of its regional locations.
    The policy will ensure that all resources are deployed to the East US region.
  • Adhere to data residency and security compliance
    Tailwind Traders must adhere to a compliance rule that states where customer data can be stored.
    Here, customer data must be stored in the East US region.
    Recall that you can assign a policy to a management group, a single subscription, or a resource group.
    Here, you assign the policy to a resource group so that policy doesn’t affect any other resources in your Azure subscription.
