What is the maximum number of resources that Azure DDoS Protection Standard can protect without additional costs?

Azure DDoS Protection Standard provides protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks for Azure resources. Under the standard tier of this service, users can protect up to 100 resources without incurring additional costs. This means that organizations can secure a significant number of virtual machines, applications, or other services all under one protection plan up to this limit.

Once the threshold of 100 resources is exceeded, organizations are required to either upgrade their plan or incur additional charges for the extra resources that need to be protected. This scalability is particularly beneficial for organizations with dynamic or growing needs, as they can manage their security posture without constantly monitoring or reconfiguring their protection plan as they expand their cloud resources.
