Azure Virtual Machine Contd
- Azure has two types of Regions
- Regions
- Regions with Zones
- Regions with Zone Support
- Generally when we create VM, the virtual disk from which os is loaded is referred as OS Disk, disk from the same physical server from which vm was launched is Temp Disk and any additional disks which you ask for are Data disks
- Data Disks and Os Disks are non ephemeral (persist), where as temp disk is ephemeral (volatile)
- As long as vm is running the changes in Temp Disk will be shown, once the vm is shutdown the changes made will be lost
- Temp Disks are available based on VM Size
- Number of Data Disks that can be attached to VM also depends on Size
- VM Size as of now gives us
- number of cpus
- RAM Size
- Temp Disk Size
- Number of Data Disks
- Any VM Created will have status, which helps in showing you current state and also the different values represent the life cylce of a vm
