Azure Resource Locks And Their Impact On Resource Operations

MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, is conducting a hands-on workshop on Azure resource protection. Claire, the Azure Security Instructor, has set up a resource group named RG1 for demonstration purposes containing an Azure Storage account called storageaccount1 and a virtual machine named VM1 running Windows Server 2016.

Mark, the Resource Management Coordinator, has applied a ReadOnly lock to the entire RG1 resource group to prevent accidental modifications during the training session. Students need to understand what operations are still permitted when a ReadOnly lock is in place.

What can you do from the Azure portal when RG1 has a ReadOnly lock applied?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Generate an automation script for RG1 is incorrect. ReadOnly locks prevent any modification operations, including generating automation scripts. This operation would be blocked as it requires write access to create and export the template.
View the keys of storageaccount1 is correct. ReadOnly locks allow all read operations to continue normally. Viewing storage account access keys is a read operation that does not modify any resources, so this action is permitted.
Start VM1 is incorrect. Starting a virtual machine is considered a modification operation that changes the VM's power state. ReadOnly locks prevent all write operations, including starting, stopping, or restarting virtual machines.
Upload a blob to storageaccount1 is incorrect. Uploading blobs to a storage account is a write operation that modifies the storage account contents. ReadOnly locks prevent all modification operations, including adding, updating, or deleting blob data.
