-Customers who are new to Azure Policy often look to find common policy definitions to manage and govern their resources. Azure Policy's **Recommended policies** provides a focused list of common policy definitions to start with. The **Recommended policies** experience for supported resources is embedded within the portal experience for that resource.

-For more Azure Policy built-ins, go to [Azure Policy built-in definitions](../samples/built-in-policies.md).

-The **Recommended policies** for [Azure Virtual Machines](../../../virtual-machines/index.yml) are on the **Overview** page for virtual machines and under the **Capabilities** tab. Select the **Azure Policy** card to open a side pane with the recommended policies. Select the recommended policies to apply to this virtual machine and select **Assign policies** to create an assignment for each policy. **Assign policies** is unavailable, or greyed out, for any policy already assigned to a scope where the virtual machine is a member.

 As an organization reaches maturity with [organizing their resources and resource hierarchy](/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-best-practices/organize-subscriptions), the recommendation is to transition these policy assignments from one per resource to the subscription or [management group](../../management-groups/index.yml) level.
