When we talked about VMs and created one, I kind of glanced over the disks that VMs
use. These are managed disks, which is a special kind of storage within Azure. I briefly
mentioned earlier in the chapter that one of the common use cases is to attach a file
storage account to a VM. Managed disks are like actual physical hard drives that you
have in your computer. You attach one or more to a VM and use them like you would
a hard drive. Although they are storage just like all the other types we’ve gone through
in this chapter, they aren’t quite the same.
