Description

Effective March 1, 2025, you can keep your records in Azure confidential ledger (ACL) at the reduced price of approximately $3 per day per instance. The reduced price is for the computation and the ledger use. 

To protect your records, automatically create signatures of your blob storage data and keep those in Azure confidential ledger. For forensics, you can verify the tamper protection of the data by verifying against the signature in ACL. Imagine doing this as you are migrating data from one system to another, or when you need to protect data from insider or administrator risks and confidently report that to authorities.  

If you keep your data in Azure SQL database, you can use their security ledger feature to auto generate record digests and store them in ACL for safeguarding.  You can use the SQL stored procedure to verify that no tampering or administrator modifications occurred to your SQL data.
