Exploring Azure Disk Storage
Azure Disk Storage provides managed storage for virtual machine disks. But applications and services are allowed to use these disks as needed. In Disk Storage, data is persistently stored and accessed from an attached virtual hard disk.
We have different disk sizes and performance levels, from solid-state drives (SSDs) to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs).
Azure Managed Disks uses redundancy to achieve availability. The user is allowed to create up to 50,000 virtual machine disks within a region. Consider your capacity and performance requirements when using Azure Managed Disks. The cost depends on the type of storage hardware and the size of the virtual disk.
We’ve defined Azure Disk Storage, so now we’ll move on to Azure Files in the next section.
