Print the details of the VM:
az vm show -g labs-vm -n vm01
In there you’ll see a section for osDisk which includes the ID and name. That’s nested inside the storageProfile object. You can filter the output to store the disk name in a variable:
# PowerShell:
$diskName=$(az vm show -g labs-vm -n vm01 --query "storageProfile.osDisk.name" -o tsv)
# sh:
diskName=$(az vm show -g labs-vm -n vm01 --query "storageProfile.osDisk.name" -o tsv)
Now you can use the az disk commands to show all the details of the disk:
az disk show --help
az disk show -g labs-vm -n $diskName
You’ll see the IOPS in the field diskIopsReadWrite - different disk types have different performance levels.
Now delete the VM:
az vm delete -g labs-vm -n vm01 --yes
Check the Resource Group in the Portal - you’ll see the disk and all the network resources are retained after the VM is deleted.
Back to the exercises.
