Benefits Of Managed Disks
- Managed Infrastructure: The underlying infrastructure is fully managed by not Microsoft Azure and also you no need to worry about managing, provisioning,take and configuration it will taken care of by the Microsoft Azure.
- Availability: Microsoft Azure ensure the disks which are managed will be available 99.99%.
- Low Cost: Disks which are managed by the Microsoft Azure will more cost saving when compared to unmanaged disks because in unmanaged disks you can’t scale up and down the disks depending up on the traffic. So once you fixed the storage size you are going to use same size if there load or not having load nu managed disks can be scale down depending upon the load by which you can reduce the cost.
- Automated Backups: The disks which are managed using Microsoft Azure will gone through automated backups which can be used for later or you can take an snapshot of the backup and use it for creating new disks.
- Dynamic Resizing: The resizing of the disk will be done depending upon the incoming traffic load if there is huge traffic if will scale up and if the traffic is low it will be scale down.
