Azure key vault - enabling protection from delete and purging



Soft delete - means your item is marked for delete but your key are not removed from system.

Purging is like 'emptying' your  recycle bin. Purge everything and then you won't see it again. If you have a soft delete key, you can still purge it and you key still goes missing.

That's why purge protection is important too.

Here's some consideration when working with soft delete and purging vault

1. You cannot undo it. You cannot change purging = false. You cannot change soft delete = false once you have enable it.

2. You need to use Cli to recover it.

3. If you purge your vault, you still get charge for it until it is really removed
