Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Practice Exam

Which service in Azure helps define, assign, and manage standards for resources?

1. Azure DevOps

2. Azure Policy

3. Azure Locations

4. Azure Police

The correct answer is: Azure Policy

Azure Policy is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to help organizations define, assign, and manage compliance standards for their resources in Azure. It allows you to create policies that can enforce specific rules and effects over your resources, ensuring they comply with your organizational standards and service level agreements. With Azure Policy, you can manage policies at scale by applying them to resource groups or subscriptions, and it provides compliance reporting that helps you assess the state of your resources against those policies. This is crucial for maintaining governance and ensuring that resources are configured correctly according to business and regulatory requirements. The other services listed do not serve this particular purpose. Azure DevOps focuses on collaboration tools for software development, while Azure Locations refer to the geographical regions where Azure data centers are located, and "Azure Police" does not exist as a service. Hence, Azure Policy stands out as the relevant service for defining and managing standards for resources in Azure.
