What will happen to an existing resource after i create a policy in the same resource group?

Question

Harish J · Accepted Answer

When you create a policy in a resource group, it does not change existing resources. The policy will only affect new resources created after the policy is assigned. If the policy is set to audit, it will just show which existing resources don’t follow the rules. To fix old resources, you can use a remediation task if the policy allows it.

The policy only checks new resources or changes. If the policy warns, it tells you about old resources that break rules. You can fix old resources with a special tool if needed.
