Summary
In this chapter, we talked about performing various operations with Azure disks. You had a chance to attach and detach disks by not only performing those operations in Azure but this time, you needed to go deeper. As you learned, when administering infrastructure in Azure, you cannot just rely on cloud knowledge – experience from managing on-premises or other cloud vendors will be helpful since managing infrastructure at the OS level is cloud-agnostic.
We also talked a little bit about advanced topics surrounding disks in Azure (sharing and encryption) and realized that swapping the OS disk for a virtual machine in Azure is a piece of cake. In the next chapter, we’ll switch focus to another Azure service called Azure Storage, where we’ll talk about things such as blob storage and file shares.
