Azure Resource Manager Tagging and Locking Scenarios

In this lab, we will test several scenarios in the Azure portal. We will begin by adding tags and locks to a resource group and deploying a VM. We will then add locks to the VM resources and see if we can add tags to them after they are locked. Finally, we will explore if a resource group can be deleted if it is locked or even if the resources inside it are locked.
