We can give strict guidelines to the team members to follow the best practices and create VMs using Azure Disk Encryption.

We can create an Azure Policy rule that would prevent the creation of any virtual machine that’s not encrypted using Azure Disk Encryption.

We can create a policy that would ensure that all virtual machines have the `MicrosoftMonitoringAgent` extension installed and are up to date.

Let’s assume we’re a cloud administrator and we want to manage the infrastructure in a way that we can create virtual machines with encrypted disks. How do we achieve this?

We can guide the cloud developers to create tags whenever they create any new Azure resource.

We can use a policy that can enforce the use of required tags on all our resources that will be deployed in our Azure subscription.

We can create a policy that will specify the encryption requirements and also makes tags mandatory for the resources in our Azure subscription.

How do we ensure that all the virtual machines created in our Azure subscription have tags associated with them?
