In this lesson, we’ll explore how to use Azure Portal to apply some policies to our subscriptions. We’ll cover the following two cases here:

* Azure policy to allow VM SKUs
* OS and data disks encrypted with a customer-managed key

We configure these in case we don’t want to give unnecessary options to our team members who are working on Azure-related tasks. It prevents the creation of higher-tier accounts that don’t have authorized permission, and it also makes sure that we’re following security standards.

# Allowing Azure VM SKUs with Azure Policy

1) Navigate over to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/) and log in.

2) On the Azure home page, enter “Policy” in the search bar and click “Policy” from the search results. It will open up a policy management dashboard called the Azure Policy page.

3) Select “Definitions” from the “Authoring” section on the left. It will load all the definitions which we can filter out.

4) Next, choose the scope. Keep the definition as it is, or choose the policy. Choose the category to compute, and if you want to search for the category, you can do that as well.

5) Then, click the “Allowed virtual machine size SKUs policy” option. It will open up a page where its definition would look something like this:
