Disk Storage

What is Azure disk storage?

Managed disk

Azure Managed Disks is a feature of Azure Disk Storage that simplifies the management and scaling of persistent disk storage for Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). With Managed Disks, Azure abstracts away the complexity of managing storage accounts, and instead, it takes care of the underlying storage infrastructure for you. This makes creating, managing, and scaling disk resources for your VMs easier without worrying about the underlying storage details.

Features and benefits of Azure Managed Disks include:

• Simplified management: Azure Managed Disks eliminate the need to create and manage individual storage accounts for VM disks. Instead, you can directly create and attach Managed Disks to your VMs, streamlining the disk provisioning process.

• High availability: Managed Disks offer built-in data redundancy options. You can choose between locally redundant storage (LRS) or zone-redundant storage (ZRS). This ensures that your VM disks are resilient to disk failures and that data is replicated within the same datacenter or across availability zones.

• Scalability: Managed Disks simplify the process of scaling your VMs. You can easily resize existing disks or add more to your VMs as your storage needs grow. Scaling with Managed Disks is seamless and does not require complex storage configurations.
