Pricing
There is no direct cost associated with Azure resource locks. Azure offers the free functionality of resource locks, which lets you lock a resource or a resource group to stop unintentional deletion or change. The pricing of the resources that depend on a resource may change if you apply a resource lock to it, so keep that in mind. If you apply a read-only lock, for instance, to a storage account, it might prevent any modifications from being made to the account and have an effect on any services that depend on it. This may have an effect on how those services are used and billed.
Resource locks should not be used exclusively for security purposes and should not be considered a security feature as such itself. Resource locks are a tool that can be used to stop unintentional changes and can be helpful in preventing interruption to vital resources.
Resource Locks in Microsoft Azure
Pre-requisite: Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is a powerful cloud computing platform that provides a wide range of tools and services for companies of all sizes. As businesses continue to use Azure services, it is crucial to make sure that crucial resources are shielded against unauthorized or unintentional alteration. Resource locks come into play here.
