Question 1

You are implementing a resource tagging strategy for cost allocation.

You create an Azure Policy that requires the tag 'CostCenter' on all Resource Groups. You assign this policy with the 'Modify' effect to your main subscription.

After assigning the policy, you notice that newly created Resource Groups receive the tag automatically, but existing Resource Groups that were created before the policy assignment do not have the tag.

Which TWO actions must you take to ensure existing Resource Groups get the tag? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

Understand how Azure Policy handles existing resources. Policies only trigger on PUT/PATCH requests. For existing resources, you need a Remediation Task and an identity with permissions to execute it.
