    AZ-305 · Question 12 · Domain 1.3: Governance

    The finance department requires that all Azure resources be tagged with a 'CostCenter' tag for billing allocation.

    You need to ensure that if a user attempts to create a resource without the 'CostCenter' tag, the resource is created anyway, but the tag is automatically added with a default value of 'Unassigned'.

    Which Azure Policy effect should you use?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Append

    B.

    Modify

    C.

    DeployIfNotExists

    D.

    Audit

    How to approach this question

    Identify the policy effect designed specifically for managing resource tags.

    Full Answer

    B.Modify✓ Correct
    Modify
    The 'Modify' effect is used to add, update, or remove properties or tags on a resource during creation or update. It is the recommended approach for enforcing tagging strategies because, unlike 'Append', it can also be used with remediation tasks to fix existing non-compliant resources.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing 'Append'. While Append was historically used for tags, Microsoft now explicitly recommends 'Modify' for all tagging operations.
