Last Update: November 27, 2024 Post Views: 804

A resource lock on Azure cloud resources enables you to restrict changes to production environment when modifying or deleting a resource would have a significant impact. Using Azure Locks you can lock a subscription, resource group, or individual resource level

Need of Azure Locks?

Imagine you’re managing a critical project that involves several cloud resources. 

Your team is working at full speed, tweaking configurations and scaling resources to meet demands. 

Then, one day, someone mistakenly deletes a critical Server. The result? Downtime, chaos, and potentially huge financial losses.

Scenarios like this can happen. In an environment, where multiple people work on cloud platforms, accidental changes to vital resources can happen. This is where Azure Lock steps in to save the day.

Think of Azure Lock as a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door of a hotel room. It’s a clear indicator that no one should enter or disturb the room, preventing any unnecessary interruptions. Similarly, Azure Lock prevents unintended modifications or deletions of your critical Azure resources.

What is Azure Locks?

Azure Resource Locks are very beneficial when you want to prevent accidental deletion and modifications in Azure environment.

You can apply Azure Locks at Azure subscription, resource group, or individual resource level.

Before applying the Azure Resource Locks it is important to understand the concept of inheritance in Azure Locks which means when you apply a lock at a parent scope, all resources within that scope inherit the same lock and even resources you add later inherit the same lock from the parent.

For example when you apply a lock to a resource group, all resources in that resource group will be locked, including any resources created in future will be locked

There are two types of Azure Locks

Azure Locks come in two flavors:

Read-Only Lock:

  • Prevents any modifications to the resource.
  • You can only read the resource but not update or delete it.
  • Think of it as "view-only mode" for a resource.

Delete Lock:

  • Prevents the deletion of the resource.
  • Users can still update or change the resource but cannot delete it.

When to Use Azure Locks

Azure Locks are especially useful in the following scenarios:

Protecting Critical Resources: Safeguard resources like production databases, storage accounts, or virtual machines from accidental deletion or modification.

Testing Environments: Prevent accidental changes to resources in a staging environment that could affect test results.

Cost Management: Apply locks to resources with high costs to prevent unnecessary scaling or deletion.
