Luckily my azure vms have managed disks

Yesterday I posted: Action required: Migrate your data from Azure unmanaged disk storage to managed disks

And today, I am happy to find out that all my 3 VMs at Azure seem to have managed disks. I use the following commands to check:

If your disk is shown here, then it is managed:

az disk list -o table

Also you can do:

az vm show
--name <YourVMName>
--resource-group <YourResourceGroup>
--query "storageProfile.osDisk" -o json

If you see "managedDisk": { ... } → Managed Disk
If you see "vhd": { "uri": "https://<storageaccount>.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/..." } → Unmanaged Disk

Alternatively, Go to Azure Portal → Virtual Machines → Your VM → Disks.
Look at the OS disk:

  • If it says Storage Account + VHD URI → Unmanaged
  • If it shows a Disk resource with type Standard SSD LRS / Premium SSD / etc. → Managed

Steem to the Moon🚀!

Hey @justyy, great to see you're proactively sharing crucial Azure migration info! The step-by-step guide with those CLI commands and the Azure Portal check is super practical. It demystifies the process of checking for managed disks, something that can be daunting for many.

I love that you're not just pointing out the issue, but giving users the exact tools to verify their setup. Plus, the visual cue with the portal screenshots makes it even easier to follow. Posts like these are invaluable for the Steem community, especially for those who might be less familiar with cloud infrastructure.

Thanks for contributing such a helpful and timely piece. I'm sure this will save a lot of people time and headaches! Upvoted and resteemed. Have you thought about sharing this on other developer platforms as well? Keep up the awesome work!
