This whole series of AZ-900 is so helpful. I love how you pick up each topic from basics! I was completely new to the world of cloud computing. But you made it so easy and interesting at the same time. Thank you so much :) :)

One more beneficial video lesson towards my quest to pass AZ-900. Thanks Adam, for supporting our efforts so generously!

[ByteBurstAcademy]

first of all, it was a great video again and I like all your videos :)
what I found interesting in resource lock is when you assign a "Delete" resource lock to RG and if you create a new RG without any lock, you can move the resource from Locked RG to No Lock RG and delete the resource.
You have to make sure you give proper permissions to other users so that they cant move the resource to other RG's otherwise purpose of resource lock would fail :)

Timely video and a very important one. Thank you for this.

Just one drawback I can think of Azure resource locks is that they only protect against operations aimed at ARM APIs for some Azure resources. It does not protect against programmatic deletions. For ex - even if you apply a resource lock against deleting an Azure Service bus Queue, it will prevent it from deleting in the portal. But it won't protect against deletions initiated say by a ASB .net client or ASB Explorer.
Azure resource locks are very important but they are one among the various measures that that needs to be enforced(Granular control, audit logs, diagnostic settings, etc)

Will you be making a video about the az-900 changes in November? I am enjoying your videos so far.

Hey Adam,
Thank you for this great video. I want to ask a question. Which program do you prepare the slides with? It has very stylish things like animations, transitions, handwriting.

[jyotidatta]

Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful in understanding Azure. However more content can be added in this lesson like "Can a delete lock be applied on top of a read only lock", " Can multiple read only or delete locks can be applied"?

[mfalkie]

Hi Adam, thanks for awesome content! I do not know what was possible when you recorded this material, but currently it’s possible to un-delete a storage account within 7 days. I’ve been there :)

[xdonat]

Hey Adam, you do an awesome job with those videos, that is really helpful thank you so much.
Az900 Certification question: Can you add two DELETE locks on a same resource / resource group?
I thought that was a tricky one...

[stevengibson]

What would be the best practice given many resources require deletion locks be lifted in order to perform updates (such as AKS clusters) or to make changes to the resources? My team finds it very difficult to manage resource-group level locks while also making changes to the environment as we need to constantly take the locks off. It seems taking the locks off is a security risk as in that window of time, the resources can be deleted, which defeats the purpose of the locks.

[madridosv]

Thank you so much for your knowledge and ¡¡¡ teaching skill !!!. Unfortunately from Argentina the subtitles of this episode can only be seen in "Dutch". ;)

[asifsomi]

Lock will be applicable to resouce level only or it will reflect the inner functions of resouce ? like delete lock shouldnt prevent delete /udpate sql in sql server. pls clarify
