Immutable storage for Azure Blob storage enables users to store business-critical data objects in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state.
This state makes the data non-erasable and non-modifiable for a user-specified interval.
For the duration of the retention interval, blobs can be created and read, but cannot be modified or deleted.
For more information please refer to Microsoft documentation.
