When you add a data disk to an Azure Virtual Machine (VM), the type of drive that is created is a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD). Azure uses VHDs to represent the storage for data disks attached to VMs. These VHDs can be created and managed using Azure Storage services, and they are stored in Azure Storage Containers.
You can attach data disks to Azure VMs to increase their storage capacity, and these data disks can be used for various purposes such as storing data, databases, applications, or any other files you require. You can choose the size and performance characteristics of the data disk when you create it, based on your specific needs.
Azure provides different types of data disk options, including Standard HDD, Standard SSD, Premium SSD, and Ultra Disk, each with varying levels of performance and cost. You can select the appropriate data disk type based on your workload requirements and budget.
