Question

is there any way how to restrict access or buy permissions at Azure Marketplace?

Answer 1

You can create a policy like the one below to restrict compute resources from a specific publisher -

        {
          "policyRule": {
            "if": {
              "allOf": [
                {
                  "field": "Microsoft.Compute/imagePublisher",
                  "match": "[parameters('NotAllowedImage')]"
                }
              ]
            },
            "then": {
              "effect": "Deny"
            }
          },
          "parameters": {
            "NotAllowedImage": {
              "type": "String",
              "metadata": {
                "displayName": "Not Allowed  Image",
                "description": "Not Allowed Image for Virtual Machine/Compute"
              }
            }
          },
          "metadata": {
            "category": "Compute"
          }
        }

When you assign this image to a subscription or a resource group then at the time you will be asked to enter a value for the image name you would like to restrict , please enter "checkpoint" as your publisher name as this is the one you want to restrict. Save the assignment.

Now once you create a vm/compute resource from "checkpoint" this would fail the validation step as the policy would not allow to create such vm/compute resource.

The Category of the check point resources I see in market place is compute only.
