3 - Turn off DDOS protection plan

You can choose to not deploy a DDOS protection plan. In order to do that, they need to remove the DDOS protection plan configuration and disable the DINE (deploy if not exists) policy. You can either comment out or remove the configuration entirely.

DDOS Protection plan is a critical security protection for public facing services. Carefully consider this and be sure to put in place an alternative solution, such as per IP protection.

The steps to follow are:

1. Update the following settings by searching for the keys and updating the value

   Setting Type	Parent block(s)	Key	Action	Count	Notes
   line	custom_replacements > names	ddos_protection_plan_enabled	Update setting to false	1

2. Copy and paste the following inside the management_group_settings > policy_assignments_to_modify

   If you have updated the connectivity or landingzones management group ID, then you need to update the management group ID in this block setting to match. For example, replace connectivity with contoso-connectivity.

   connectivity = {
     policy_assignments = {
       Enable-DDoS-VNET = {
         enforcement_mode = "DoNotEnforce"
       }
     }
   }
   landingzones = {
     policy_assignments = {
       Enable-DDoS-VNET = {
         enforcement_mode = "DoNotEnforce"
       }
     }
   }
