Configuration profiles are the foundation of Azure Automanage best practices. They define which services are onboarded for your machines and, to some extent, what the configuration of those services are.

If you want to customize the best practice services and settings, you can use the custom profile option. Custom profiles allow you to customize the services and settings you want to apply to your machines. This option is useful when your IT requirements differ from the best practices. For instance, if your IT organization requires you to use an anti-malware solution other than the Microsoft Anti-malware solution, you can toggle off Microsoft Anti-malware when creating a custom profile.

Automanage Machine Configuration provides native capability to audit or configure operating system settings as code, both for machines running in Azure and hybrid Arc-enabled machines. The feature can be used directly per-machine, or at-scale orchestrated by Azure Policy. As Automanage Machine Best Practices lets customers describe desired state for management services, Machine Configuration provides the same functionality within the actual resources.

For example, when a machine is conformant with its assigned configuration profile, its status reads *Conformant*. When a machine drifts from the configuration profile, Automanage automatically brings it back into compliance.
