Your organization assigns an Azure Policy at the Corp-MG management group to require the tag Environment on all newly created resources. A deployment to RG-App in the Prod-Sub subscription fails because the tag is missing. You need to allow this single deployment to proceed without weakening enforcement for the rest of the organization. What should you do?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Remove the policy assignment from Corp-MG.

This removes the control for all child scopes and is too broad.

B

Best answer

Create a policy exemption at the Prod-Sub or RG-App scope.

A scoped exemption allows the deployment while preserving the broader governance model.

C

Distractor review

Change the policy effect from Deny to Audit for all assignments.

This weakens enforcement globally instead of solving the one exception.

D

Distractor review

Move Prod-Sub out of Corp-MG.

This is an unnecessary structural change for a single deployment exception.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match

ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Standard ACLs match source addresses.
  • Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
  • The first matching ACL entry is used.
  • There is usually an implicit deny at the end.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check inbound versus outbound direction.
  • Read the ACL from top to bottom.
  • Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Standard ACLs match source addresses.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Create a policy exemption at the Prod-Sub or RG-App scope. — A policy exemption is the correct way to allow a scoped exception while preserving the existing policy assignment and enforcement elsewhere. Removing the assignment or changing the effect to Audit would weaken governance more broadly than necessary. Moving the subscription out of the management group is an excessive administrative change for a single exception.
