How to assign policies by updating ARM template?
Hi ibnmbodji thank you for answering. Sorry I'm not yet familiar with this, but how do I export and deploy the policy definition? Also, if I assign the policy through portal, will it also be included in the ARM template for that subscription?
You're welcome .
To export the policy definition you need to go to the Azure Policy blade
Select Definitions and in the list select the definition you want to export . You need to have Github account to be able to do that .
You can do that in other ways documented below :
Export Azure Policy resources - Azure Policy | Microsoft Docs
Notice that you don't need to do that if there is no changes in the builtin policy . You can just assign to a scope directly .
If you want add changes you can simply add a policy definition
Edit the policy rule and hit save . You can also import the policy rule from Github .
There is no update mecanism for Arm templates .If you want to have custom definitions you need to export builtin definitions add changes and redeploy it .
If not you don't need to export anything . Identify the definitions or initiative and just assign them to a defined scope .
