Managed Disks – Azure’s block storage service.
Azure Managed Disks are block-level storage volumes managed by Azure for use with Azure VMs. They come in different types (Ultra disk, Premium SSD, Standard SSD, Standard HDD) for different performance needs. Managed Disks handle disk replication and availability, eliminating the need for storage account management. They support features like disk encryption, snapshots, and disk sharing between VMs. Azure automatically handles the physical storage layout and scaling, simplifying storage management for users.
