Performance Option for Azure Storage

What is Azure performance ?

Azure performance refers to the speed, responsiveness, and efficiency of services and resources hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. It measures how well Azure services and solutions can meet the demands of the applications and workloads running on the platform. Azure provides various services, including virtual machines, databases, storage, networking, and more. Each of these services has its performance characteristics, and Microsoft has made significant efforts to ensure that Azure delivers high-performance capabilities to its users. There are several factors that contribute to this and there are as follows:

Disk type

In Azure, the disk types available for performance optimization are associated with Azure Managed Disks, which are used for persistent storage for Virtual Machines (VMs). Depending on your workload’s performance requirements, you can choose from the following disk types:

Standard hdd(hard disk drive):

• Standard hhds are traditional magnetic hard disk drives and offer the lowest cost per GB among the disk types.

• They provide good performance for workloads with low I/O requirements and can be suitable for non-critical applications or bulk storage needs.

Standard ssd (solid-state drive):

• Standard ssds use solid-state storage and perform better than HDDs with lower latency and higher IOPS.

• They are recommended for most general-purpose workloads, balancing cost and performance.

Premium ssd

• Premium SSDs use ...
