We’ll cover a few more Azure Policy samples in this lesson. With a long list of policy definitions available, we can create our custom policies as well.

Here are the samples we’ll explore in this 
lesson:

* Storage accounts should be limited by allowed SKUs
* Restricting storage accounts for public access

# Azure Policy to limit Storage accounts SKUs

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” under the “Authoring” section. It will load all the definitions which we can filter out.

4) Now choose the scope. Keep the definition type as it is or choose a policy. Choose “Storage” from the “Category” field’s drop-down menu, and type in “SKU” in the “Search” field.

5) The search will filter out the list, and you’ll have your desired policy i.e., Azure Policy to limit the Storage account’s SKUs. When you click it, it will open up a page where its definition would look something like this:
