Tag assigned to RG1 - tag1: value1 Tag assigned to storage1: tag2: value2 and tag3: value3 RG1 already exists so does not receive tag2. According to the documentation: "Add a tag to resources" Adds the specified tag and value when any resource missing this tag is created or updated. Existing resources can be remediated by triggering a remediation task. If the tag exists with a different value it will not be changed. Does not modify tags on resource groups.

The key word here is "Append", which means that it is not "retroactive". Because RG1 already exists and we have "Append" in the policy statement, the tag from the policy will not be added to RG1. Ref: The term "Append" (not retroactive) in the context of Azure Policy means: Append Policy Definition The Append effect ensures that the specified tag (or other properties) is added to a resource at the time of its creation or modification if it doesn't already exist. It does not apply retroactively to resources that already exist before the policy was assigned unless those resources are updated after the policy is applied.

correct answer but incorrect reasoning. Assigning a policy goes through all the items that might be affected. meaning this new policy would go through resources and check if they fit the filters to take action on. in this case, RG1 doesnt get anything assigned to it because resource groups are not considered resources. if the first part was not a resource group but lets say a VM, then the policy would have added (appended) another tag to already existing one and it would have 1 and 2. in case of the storage account, that is considered a resource so it keeps its own tag 3 and the policy adds tag 2 alongside it

I was not sure til i read the following, i think part important to pay attention to it the "Append a tag and its value to resources" and as per below Append a tag and its value to resources Appends the specified tag and value when any resource which is missing this tag is created or updated. Does not modify the tags of resources created before this policy was applied until those resources are changed. Does not apply to resource groups. New 'modify' effect policies are available that support remediation of tags on existing resources (see https://aka.ms/modifydoc). Ans is Tag assigned to RG1 - tag1: value1 Tag assigned to storage1: tag2: value2 and tag3: value3 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/tag-policies

Tag assigned to RG1: Initially starts with tag1:value1, however, after Policy1 is created AND storage1 is created, Policy1 is considered. Unlike an "Add" policy that does not propagate, an "Append" policy propagates. Therefore Policy1 affects Subscription1, RG1 and any resources created within Subscription1. The "Append" policy examines RG1 as Storage1 is created, notes that tag2 is not there and so "appends" it. So after storage1 is created, RG1 will have tag1:value1 and tag2:value2. Tag assigned to storage1: Tags assigned to resource groups are not inherited by resources created in it. However, as noted above, Policy1 is applicable to storage1. Therefore, after it is created, it will have tag3:value3 that was added manually and tag2:value2 that was added automatically via Policy1.

Tag assigned to RG1 - tag1: value1 and tag2: value2 Tag assigned to storage1: tag2: value2 and tag3: value3 Virtual machines, storage accounts, web apps, databases, and virtual networks are examples of resources. Resource groups, subscriptions, management groups, and tags are also examples of resources. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/overview

Correct. RG is not a resource in itself, so it will only have tag 1. Tag 2 is a policy for resources only, and tag 3 was created for the storage account. The storage account has tag 2 as per the policy settings, and obivously has tag 3 associated as per the settings on the resource itself.

Also, the storage account does not have tag 1, as tags applied to RGs are not automatically passed down to it's resources. You would need to create a separate policy for that.

As of 17/08/2023, confirmed in Lab. "Append a tag and its value to resources" does not take effect on Resource Groups, only on Resources. Also, the policy applies on newly created or updated resources only. The existing resources will stay as is. So given answer is correct. Created same policy as shown here > Waited 1 Hour > Created new RG > no tags applied from policy. Created Storage Account & VM > tag from policy applied to both.

Correct answer: Correct answer: Tag assigned to RG1 - tag1: value1 and tag2: value2 -> tag2 inherit from the policy Tag assigned to storage1: tag2: value2 and tag3: value3 -> tag2 inherit from the policy Inherit tags Resources don't inherit the tags you apply to a resource group or a subscription. To apply tags from a subscription or resource group to the resources, see Azure Policies - tags. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/tag-resources

This is 100% the correct answer to this question: Tag assigned to RG1 - tag1: value1 Tag assigned to storage1: tag1: value1, tag2: value2 and tag3: value3 Storage1 inherits 'tag1: value1' from RG1 also as storage1 was created in this resource group after it's creation and tags are indeed inherited from the resource group IF created after tags are applied to the resource group. Slight technicality will catch many people out!

The resources does not inherit tags from the resource groups, so please do not use words like "100% correct", not true.

that's actually 100% wrong, no documentation states that resources inherit the resource group tag. as a matter of fact, it's the opposite: resource DO NOT inherit the tag of the resource group they belong to.
