 The purpose of the landing zone is to ensure that all infrastructure configuration work is done when a team starts in the Azure environment. For instance, security controls are set up in compliance with organizational standards and network connectivity is set up.

 Azure Machine Learning integrates with [data landing zones](https://github.com/Azure/data-landing-zone) in the [Cloud Adoption Framework data management and analytics scenario](/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/scenarios/data-management/). This reference implementation provides an optimized environment to migrate machine learning workloads onto Azure Machine Learning and includes preconfigured policies.

 Controls whether a workspace is created using a system-assigned managed identity (default) or a user-assigned managed identity. The managed identity for the workspace is used to access associated resources such as Azure Storage, Azure Container Registry, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Application Insights. For more information, see [Set up authentication between Azure Machine Learning and other services](how-to-identity-based-service-authentication.md).

 If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a workspace unless you provide a user-assigned identity during the creation process. Attempting to create a workspace without providing a user-assigned identity results in an error. The error is also logged to the activity log. The policy identifier is returned as part of this error.

+## Create custom definitions
+
+When you need to create custom policies for your organization, you can use the [Azure Policy definition structure](/azure/governance/policy/definition-structure) to create your own definitions. You can use the [Azure Policy Visual Studio Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AzurePolicy.azurepolicyextension) to author and test your policies.
+
+To discover the policy aliases you can use in your definition, use the following Azure CLI command to list the aliases for Azure Machine Learning:
+
+```azurecli
+az provider show --namespace Microsoft.MachineLearningServices --expand "resourceTypes/aliases" --query "resourceTypes[].aliases[].name"
+```
+
+To discover the allowed values for a specific alias, visit the [Azure Machine Learning REST API](/rest/api/azureml/) reference.
+
+For a tutorial (not Azure Machine Learning specific) on how to create custom policies, visit [Create a custom policy definition](/azure/governance/policy/tutorials/create-custom-policy-definition).
