Azure Functions Basics - Part 2

In earlier post, we have built the green part of below app. Part-1

Now lets continue building red part of the design.

Azure Functions Basics - Part 1

Azure Function: Azure Functions is a serverless application platform. It allows developers to host business logic that can be executed without provisioning infrastructure. Functions provides intrinsic scalability and you are charged only for the resources used. You can write your function code in the language of your choice, including C#, F#, JavaScript, Python, and PowerShell Core. Support for package managers like NuGet and NPM is also included, so you can use popular libraries in your business logic.

Says Microsoft, now we will build some simple stuff shown below and understand basics while we do so.

Azure Policy and Compliance Management

Azure Policy helps to enforce organizational standards and to assess compliance at-scale. Through its compliance dashboard, it provides an aggregated view to evaluate the overall state of the environment, with the ability to drill down to the per-resource, per-policy granularity.

Thats what Microsoft documentation says.  Now let me say in my way.

I work in a bank and the regulatory compliance says, data of our bank shouldn't leave Autralia.

So if one of our developers deployed a production azure resource in any other AZ Regions, our organization has to pay big penalties for not complying with regulations.

How do we do it? Using Azure Policy Assignment.

Before we jump on to implemntation, you need to know about difference between Policy and Initiative.

To keep it simple, Policy is a rule and Initiave is a collcetion of policies which set a standard.

Eg: ISO(standard) is a Intiative, which comprises of  many policies which makes that standard.
