What this adds
A copy-and-paste Azure portal deployment path for the Arc SQL Server license-type policy, plus the licensing/compliance guidance that goes with it. The existing scripted (
deployment.ps1) path is unchanged.Changes
policy/azurepolicy.portal.json(new) — the definition ready to paste into the portal's Policy rule box. It's the repo'sazurepolicy.jsonwith the portal-incompatible read-onlypolicyTypeand top-levelversionremoved. It also addsLicenseOnlytotargetLicenseType(and defaults to it) so the manual path is compliance-safe out of the box.README.mdAzure/Community-Policy.Why
Two field papercuts:
azurepolicy.jsoninto the portal hit "Could not find member 'name' on object of type 'PolicyDefinitionProperties'" — there was no portal-ready file or instructions.Paidis a Software Assurance attestation. Free Developer / Express / Evaluation editions are not SA-eligible and must beLicenseOnly(docs). The README now makes the correct edition mapping explicit.Related: #1492 (proposal to make the policy itself edition/combination-aware). This PR is docs + a portal artifact only; the deeper policy fix is tracked there.
