How to implement resource locks in the Azure portal

In the Azure portal, you can implement resource locks to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to critical resources. Resource locks allow you to set a read-only or delete lock on a resource or resource group, preventing any updates or deletions from occurring. Here’s how you can implement resource locks in Azure:

  1. Log in to the Azure portal and navigate to the resource or resource group (1) you want to lock.
  2. Click on the “Locks” (2) option in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on the “Add” button to create a new lock.
  4. Choose the type of lock you want to create: either a “Read-only” lock or a “Delete” lock. A read-only lock will prevent any updates to the resource, while a delete lock will prevent the resource from being deleted. (3)
  5. Give the lock a name and description so that others can understand the purpose of the lock. (4)
  6. Click on “OK” to create the lock. (5)

Once the lock is created, it will be applied to the resource or resource group, preventing any unauthorized or accidental changes.
