Azure Blob storage - Container Soft Delete generally available
Date de publication : 12 juillet, 2021
Providing robust data protection and recovery capabilities is a key pillar of Blob storage. Container soft delete extends existing capabilities such as soft delete for blobs, account delete locking, and immutable blobs, making our data protection and restore capabilities even better.
Using the Azure Portal, any new storage account includes container soft delete enabled with a 7 day retention period by default. This allows you to recover from accidental container deletion up to the retention period specified without contacting Microsoft.
Container soft delete is available in all public regions, applies to ADLS Gen2 enabled accounts, and has no additional charge to enable. Data retained in a deleted container is billed at the same rate as active data.
