Question 5Storage for VHDs is used to provide durable disks for Azure Virtual Machines that utilize which type of Blob Storage?

Azure Virtual Machines use Managed Disks for their VHD storage. These Managed Disks are stored as Page Blobs in Azure Blob Storage.

Here are the steps to understand this:

1. Azure Virtual Machines use Virtual Hard Disks (VHDs) for their storage. These VHDs can be either managed or unmanaged by Azure.

2. Managed Disks are the newer and recommended disk storage model. They are like a physical disk in an on-premises server but, virtualized. Azure handles the storage account management for you with Managed Disks.

3. These Managed Disks are stored in Azure Blob Storage, which is Azure's storage solution for massive amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data.

4. Within Azure Blob Storage, there are different types of blobs: Block Blobs, Append Blobs, and Page Blobs.

5. Managed Disks are stored as Page Blobs. Page blobs are a collection of 512-byte pages optimized for random read and write operations. They provide the ability to write to a range of bytes in a blob.

So, to answer the question: Azure Virtual Machines utilize Page Blob Storage for their VHDs.
