In this article I explain how to use Azure Logic App to monitor unattached disks in Azure. This is a very common scenario in Azure, where you have a lot of VMs and you want to make sure that you don’t have any unattached disks. This can happen if you delete a VM and forget to delete the disk, ‘I will delete this later…’. Can also be adjusted for other resources like NICs, NSGs, etc.
As of writing this post (August 8th, 2019) there are 159 Azure Policies available and 111 are in preview (and 27 deprecated). In this post I try to come up with a decent set of ‘common sense’ policies that can prevent data leaks or other issues, I focus primarily on security-related policies. Some of them are so essential, that I would always recommend to enable them - some of them are very specific, so let us use the old consultant wisdom: “it depends”!
