Recover Deleted Azure Resources
Recently someone deleted our PoC resource groups without any communication. And they said there is no backup, so it is on our own. Even though we did not setup backup, it seems some Azure resources can still be recovered. If you have the privilege, setup resource lock or soft-delete for such situations in the future.
Below are info I found. For code, it is relatively easy to store in code versioning system and restore. So most info is really how to restore resources with data.

The following resources seem no restore capability without backup. Will update if found.
Container registry
It is to store our customized machine learning image. There seems no recycle bin or soft delete enabled, so need to recreate one and associate with Azure ML workspace.
VM image
There seems no recycle bin or soft delete enabled. Need to contact MS support within 14 days (with best effort).
