  • How much do my unattached disk cost?
    So question for you...... How woudl you "normally" compute how much a disk that is not attached costs? Would it be by size/type, location? Https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • VM Pricing - Couple of Questions
    No, default OS disk is 127 GB (for windows machines). You will need just to resize it. Then you need to add another managed disk to VM https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/. You don't need storage account for this. But you can use storage account as a file share replacement or also if you will be using native azure backup there will be another costs associated. Source: over 1 year ago
