-## Overview
+Deployment Safeguards in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) help enforce Kubernetes best practices by using Azure Policy and Gatekeeper. While they offer valuable protection, a misconfiguration or misunderstanding of their behavior can cause blocked or mutated workloads. This guide helps you troubleshoot common issues when you use Deployment Safeguards in **Warn** or **Enforce** mode.

+## Frequently asked questions
 
-### 1. Safeguards Not Taking Effect
+### Why aren't Deployment Safeguards taking effect?
 
 **Symptoms:**
 
-- You deployed noncompliant resources but saw no warnings or
-  enforcement.
+- You deploy noncompliant resources, but you see no warnings or signs of enforcement.
 
-- The Azure Policy dashboard shows **Not started** or empty compliance
-  status.
+- The Azure Policy dashboard shows a **Not started** value or an empty compliance status.
 
-**Recommended Actions:**
+**Recommended actions:**
 
-- Verify Azure Policy add-on is enabled on the cluster:
+- Verify that the Azure Policy add-on is enabled on the cluster:
 
 ``` bash
     az aks show \--resource-group \<rg-name\> \--name \<cluster-name\>
     \--query addonProfiles.azurepolicy
 ```
 
-- Check if the namespace is excluded:
+- Check whether the namespace is excluded:
 
 ``` bash
     az aks safeguards show \--resource-group \<rg-name\> \--name
     \<cluster-name\>
 ```
 
-### 2. Disable Deployment Safeguards
+### How can I disable Deployment Safeguards?
 
-To disable deployment safeguards entirely, you may use the following command:
+To disable deployment safeguards entirely, run the following command:
 
 ```bash
     az aks safeguards delete \--resource-group \<rg-name\> \--name
     \<cluster-name\>
 ```
 
-### 3. Why was I able to turn on Deployment Safeguards without Azure Policy permissions?
+### Why can I turn on Deployment Safeguards without Azure Policy permissions?
 
-Deployment Safeguards uses Azure Policy as an implementation detail. To
-turn on Deployment Safeguards on an AKS cluster, you do not need the
+Deployment Safeguards uses Azure Policy as an implementation detail. To turn on Deployment Safeguards on an AKS cluster, you do not have to have the
 correct permissions to assign or delete Azure Policies.
 
-### 4. Why did my deployment resource get admitted even though it wasn\'t following best practices?
+## 4. Why does my deployment resource get admitted even though it doesn\'t follow best practices?
 
-Deployment safeguards enforce best practice standards through Azure
-Policy controls and has policies that validate against Kubernetes
-resources. To evaluate and enforce cluster components, Azure Policy
-extends [Gatekeeper](https://open-policy-agent.github.io/gatekeeper/website/).
-Gatekeeper enforcement also currently operates in
-a [fail-open model](https://open-policy-agent.github.io/gatekeeper/website/docs/failing-closed/#considerations).
-As there\'s no guarantee that Gatekeeper will respond to our networking
-call, we make sure that in that case, the validation is skipped so that
-the deny doesn\'t block your deployments.
