Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Managed Disk?
A managed disk is a block-level storage volume managed by Azure. It is used for Azure virtual machines and provides persistent storage for operating systems, applications, and data.
What is the difference between Standard and Premium Managed Disks?
Standard Managed Disks use HDDs and are ideal for cost-sensitive workloads, development/test environments, and less performance-sensitive applications. Premium Managed Disks use SSDs for higher performance and lower latency, suitable for production workloads.
How does managed disk redundancy work?
Managed disks are automatically replicated within a storage scale unit to ensure high availability and durability. Azure handles the replication and management of this redundancy.
