Overall Satisfaction with Azure Managed Disks
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.

- 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.
