  • 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.

  • Operates seamlessly for team members regardless of location or department
  • Allows for user succession as managers move and are replaced by having relevant data available.
  • Lends itself to upgrades that have been done on several occasions.
  • Open source is nice but a bit confusing for many without the full technical background.
  • Upgrades come but involve a learning curve which can be slow.
  • Risk management often needs additional oversight which could be better integrated.

  • 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.
