Supported VM SKUs for Azure Policy

Caution

This article references CentOS, a Linux distribution that is End Of Life (EOL) status. Please consider your use and planning accordingly. For more information, see the CentOS End Of Life guidance.

Azure Backup provides a built-in policy (using Azure Policy) that can be assigned to all Azure VMs in a specified location within a subscription or resource group. When this policy is assigned to a given scope, all new VMs created in that scope are automatically configured for backup to an existing vault in the same location and subscription. The table below lists all the VM SKUs supported by this policy.

Supported VMs*
