Azure Storage

Hi Folks,

We have 100's of VMs in Azure and each VM is having 128GB C Drive as well as other attach Disks as well.

So my concern is there any other way we can create a storage account for 5TB and share 100GB each specific to each VM? instead of giving each VM are separate dedicated 500GB disk?

    you can use unmanaged disks where you create a storage account and allocate the disks but it is more of traditional way of don't where the overhead of managing those disks are on you even though it is not recommended now a days but you have an option

    you want to have a storage account and vhdx files located on that account? I would recommend to use managed disks. you can create and assign that via powershell or terraform
