Are there any plans to expand on this in the future ? 

 

It would be great to be able to apply and monitor VM compliance directly from Azure, but as it is currently (June 2024), automanage still lacks some key features for it to be usable in the real world :

  • Ability to customise the baseline policy (enable/disable checks)
  • Manual enforcement of individual checks
  • Rollback to initial state (prior to the first policy deployment)

Albeit feature 1 and 2 would already constitute a massive step forward.
