Challenge

Assign Azure Policies
- Assign a policy to block the deployment of resource groups when a Cost Allocation tag is not provided.
  - Assign the policy to the resource group for the hands-on lab.
  - Optionally provide a non-compliance message for your first policy assignment.
- Assign a policy to inherit the Cost Allocation tag from the parent resource group when the tag is not present on a resource.
  - Associate the existing user-assigned managed identity with your policy assignment.
Challenge

Create and Update Resources
- Create a Cost Allocation tag, set the value to IT, and attach it to the resource group.
- Deploy a new Virtual Network named PolicyVnet2 in the same region as the existing resources.
  - Do not provide a cost allocation tag during provisioning; Azure Policy should inherit the tag from the resource group.
Challenge

Observe the Results of Policy Assignment
- View the tags of the existing resources.
- View the tags of the newly created non-compliant resource after creation.
Challenge

Remediate Existing Resources
- Create a remediation task to bring the existing virtual network into compliance.
