Azure Managed Disks offer performance benefits and flexibility
Azure Managed Disks is a great storage service provided by Microsoft Azure that offers several benefits over traditional storage methods. It simplifies the process of creating, configuring, and managing the storage for Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) and other Azure services. We have made use of disks to host premium or high performance Virtual Machines.
- Improved reliability: Managed Disks come with built-in redundancy and automatic failover capabilities to ensure high availability and data durability.
- Improved reliability: Managed Disks come with built-in redundancy and automatic failover capabilities to ensure high availability and data durability.
- Flexible storage options: Managed Disks offer a variety of storage options such as Standard, Premium, and Ultra Disk storage, to cater to different performance and cost requirements.
- Easy to use: Managed Disks can be easily created, configured, and managed using the Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Azure SDKs.
- Costs: The cost of Managed Disks can be quite high for some workloads, so cost optimization features such as the ability to automatically move data between storage tiers based on usage patterns, or the ability to automatically release unused disks, could be added to help users better manage costs.
- Data migration: Managed Disks do not currently support data migration to and from other storage services. Adding support for data migration could make it easier for users to move their data from other storage services to Azure Managed Disks.
- The ability to increase performance
- The ability to increasescalability
- The flexibility to scale the disks
- Azure Managed Disks have allowed us to test and benchmark the required performance
- Azure Managed Disks have allowed us to run short term projects without investing in physical infrastructure

Azure storage, a great disk solution that comes with great features and a growing ecosystem
We had a need to have highly available storage in the cloud that was easy to manage and could scale to our business needs. While we had looked into Amazon, we went with Azure as we had a larger footprint in the ecosystem and we liked the features and functionality it provided. Today, we use it to help manage our VMs, as well as help, provide redundant storage for our data lake retention
- Redundancy and high availability is best in class
- The ability to manage this in one central place and the Azure ecosystem integration is great.
- Infrastructure as code and the ability to manage and maintain has become best in class.
- As Azure is evolving a lot of the new features takes a bit to roll out to manage disk.
- It takes a bit of time to provision disk and can be tedious for smaller projects.
- I wish there were more options on the types of the disk that are available that would allow us to use it for smaller projects and pocs.
- High Availability and redundancy
- Cost
- Easy of set up and replication
- It has allowed us to adjust to based on business needs
- It took us a bit of time to ramp up and change our model to support the new technology
- We have better stability and be able to replicate the same solution several times
- Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
It is a cleaner setup since we are already bought into the Microsoft Infrastructure. Without the ecosystem they have built at Microsoft, we would not have such a seamless experience. While AWS is simpler to use, it is not set in the same model as how the Azure system is built and both tools can't be seen as a one to one comparison

Azure Managed Disks for enterprise business
We are currently using Azure Managed Disks as a cloud storage option to dynamically increase or decrease disk space on demand. By utilizing Azure Managed Disks we can quickly expand or contract as the demand is needed by the business. Some days we need more space than others so this allows us to keep our costs low.
- Dynamic allocation of space
- Ease of set up
- Ease of Management
- UI could be more streamlined
- Better Help Documentation
- Ease of setup
- Cost Savings
- Ease of Management
- Positive ROI as we have decreased our disk Cost
- Positive as we have less downtime
- Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
Azure Managed Disks stacked up very well against Amazon Elastic Block Store. In the End it really came down to the fact we are running numerous other Microsoft Azure products and Azure Managed Disks would fit nicely into that ecosystem. We had less ramp up for training and learning issues.
