In order to display the properties of a managed disk, in PowerShell session type:
Get-AzDisk -ResourceGroupName yourresourcegroup -Name yourdiskname
In order to create a managed disk, you’ll first need a configuration for that disk. In the following example, we’re creating a new variable called diskConfig which holds the commands for creating that initial disk configuration. After that being declared, the New-AzDisk command will actually create the disk. In PowerShell session type:
$diskConfig = New-AzDiskConfig `
-Location westeurope `
-CreateOption Empty `
-DiskSizeGB 32 `
-Sku Standard_LRS`
New-AzDisk `
-ResourceGroupName yourresourcegroup `
-DiskName yourdiskname `
-Disk $diskConfig
The following command helps you create a basic Standard_LRS managed disk in Azure:
az disk create --resource-group yourresourcegroup --name yourdiskname --sku "Standard_LRS" --size-gb 32
It’s really practical to know how to create resources using multiple methods. In order to create a new resource group type:
az group create --name yourresourcegroup --location yourdesiredlocation
