A simple way to picture Azure VM Storage Options
A filing system might use fast drives for active files, slower drives for archives. VMs need similar flexibility: fast SSDs for OS, standard disks for data.
Azure provides managed disks in different types: Premium (fast SSD), Standard (HDD), Ultra (highest performance). Choose based on performance needs.
Choose disk type
Select Premium, Standard, or Ultra based on performance requirements.
Attach to VM
Disks are attached to the VM.
Use
Applications access storage through the attached disks.
A database VM uses Premium SSD for data (performance-critical), Standard for backups (less critical).
Objective 2.2 expects understanding of managed disk types.
Managed disks come in different performance tiers.
Premium for performance-critical workloads.
Standard for general-purpose.
Managed disks in different tiers: Premium (fast SSD), Standard (HDD), Ultra (highest performance), chosen based on performance needs.
