 Azure Automanage machine best practices eliminates the need to discover and know how to onboard and configure certain Azure services to benefit your virtual machines. These Azure services help enhance reliability, security, and management for virtual machines.
 
 Azure Automanage machine best practices provide the following benefits:
 
-- Intelligently onboards virtual machines to select best practices Azure services
-- Automatically configures each service per Azure best practices
-- Supports customization of best practice services
-- Monitors for drift and corrects for it when detected
-- Provides a simple experience (point, select, set, forget)

 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.

 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.
